We also heard on Monday how the current programs have been kind of piecemeal over the past few years. Forward thinking and long-term vision are not things we see a lot of with the government, and those were things they called for on Monday. It's nice to hear again today that it's something the government should look at doing.
You mentioned bees and pollinators, and those are very important to agriculture, because without bees we will not have pollination and we will not have food. We've had witnesses come before committee and talk about bee losses, and about how this year we will probably have some more bee losses.
I was wondering if you could speak to the importance of the government investing more into research when it comes to bee health, because we all know it's very important to agriculture and industry and our future.
