Thank you, Chair.
I'd like to thank our witnesses for being here.
Mr. Prouse, and Mr. Yarrow, I think we've seen each other quite often. It's not the first time you've come to committee in recent weeks, I would say.
I have a few questions for Genome Prairie.
I think this is the first time I've seen you at committee. You talked a lot about the accomplishments, innovations, and work you've done to improve yields of wheat and rye—I think you said by 30% to 40%. You even talked about dairy genomics. I think it was two years ago that I had the chance to go to Centre d'insémination artificielle du Québec, and we talked a lot about Starbuck and all the work that was done with artificial insemination when it came to bovine genetics.
I was just wondering if you could maybe comment more on how you see the federal government fostering innovation, and what kind of things or recommendations you'd like to see come out of this committee work.
