Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank our witnesses for being here.
Perhaps I'll start with Dr. Fraser. You spoke about concerns with respect to food storage and food security. I'd like to know where you would see science and innovation fitting in here. I was looking through your slides and I noticed there was a photo of a storage bag that was more impervious to rodents and it protected the seed from rot. That's probably a small science and innovation type of project, but I'm wondering how you see science and innovation contributing to what it is you think the government should be addressing.
