Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for contributing to our study this afternoon.
My question is for the Canadian Forage and Grassland Association representatives.
In your brief, you say, and I quote: “Dramatically reduced forage research funding has created a situation in which forage yields have not kept pace with those of annual crops, putting the livestock sector at risk.”
How do you plan to ensure that forage research is carried out, so you can keep your livestock well-fed and continue to raise cattle? Is your beef operation at risk?
