Thank you, Mr. Chair.
It's great to have Mr. Shipley back here, and I'd also like to welcome Mr. Duguid to our committee, as well as Mr. Mains and Mr. Orb.
This has been a fascinating study, and kudos to Mr. Shipley. I'd also like to do a shout-out to Mr. Longfield for all the wonderful work he's done on this study. We all work hard, and we all work well, but Mr. Longfield, you in particular have done a lot of work and spent some quality time on this file. I think agriculture is going to be better moving forward.
Mr. Mains and Mr. Orb, I was struck when you said that farming is a way of life and is the future of agriculture. Can you elaborate on where you see agriculture going, and how the federal government can help both of you and your organizations in implementing that vision?
