Thank you.
In the United States a number of federal programs involve schools and other institutions. I'm not sure if the same model could be followed. Certainly at the provincial level and municipal level and all the way down to the school level, there is a movement for buying from local producers. Farmers' markets have been supporting those sorts of issues, but there are many other kinds of events going on with food today.
I think it's very appropriate that yesterday the world population reached seven billion. We have issues of restricted food supplies in some areas, issues of water, etc. As the head of science in Britain has said, the perfect storm is coming. We will have to position ourselves to be able to deal with that storm when it does arrive.
I don't think I'm in a position to say that we should be doing more for local procurement for federal, provincial, and municipal institutions. I would think it would be great if that would happen for the local producer. Being able to plan those things out is not in my area, unfortunately, but yes, I do think that's the direction we need to go in.
