Folks, I want to take a bit of a prerogative as chair. I have a couple of questions that I wouldn't mind putting to the department, please.
This is just a follow-up. I want to say thank you for talking about not only the local and the regional, but the importance and significance you see in research, innovation, development, and then the commercialization of it.
When you consolidate—and this goes back to some of the earlier questions that may have come up—is there a concern about how to deal with issues around regional geography, for example around pest control, different soil types, different climate in different areas? Is that accommodated, or are the regional areas seen within the context of the same geography, as far as the soil, climate, and pests that would be present are concerned?
It may be not only in wheat, but in the horticulture areas, and also in some respects as we move into the grains and oilseeds and the research that is sponsored from these—obviously as part of a cluster that comes together with our grains and oilseeds people....
How does that work, or how does it come together so that there isn't a lack in the information that would be developed within regions where the consolidation has happened?
