Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and thanks to our witnesses for coming and participating in the study.
I want to start with Mr. Metzler and Mr. Mercer. You may have had a chance to respond to the chair's question, but the following issue has been raised many times during this study, and Mr. Wallener and Mr. McAlpine also raised it. It's that gap between being able to go from an idea and innovation to being able to commercialize.
One area is new crops. We talk about a $75-billion target by 2025. Certainly, Ryan, you could talk about how we never would have had pulses in southern Alberta 10 years ago, but now you have this opportunity. What's missing to get those new crops commercialized?
