Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
As the chair has indicated, I am not a regular member of the committee, but I am very pleased to be here for such an informal opportunity to engage with young farmers.
I'm from British Columbia, from Vancouver Island. Nanaimo—Alberni is my riding. We're where the far west meets the far east, with a little bit of water in between.
I want to throw something on the table here. First of all, we all like to eat, and yes, I see that Mr. Dreeshen is headed over there to get some watering too—
