Thank you.
There were several important words in your reply. You talked in particular about research, development and education. The word “innovation” is often used very loosely, but it really means, as you said, research and development.
There is a university in my riding and it has an agriculture faculty that conducts research. I am told that investments in research are going down. I would like to know whether you think that this should be changed, and whether this type of research should once again be increased so that it lines up more closely with basic research and is of benefit to Canadian agriculture.
