Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank our three witnesses very much for being here, either via video conference or in person.
Mr. Dugré, I want to say good morning to you. We live quite close to one another. I'm happy you are here with us, and pleased to discover that agriculture in the Québec region is doing so well, particularly at the Cégep de Victoriaville.
Today's topic is at the very core of our study. It's a topic we probably should have addressed a bit earlier. There are two competing trends.
Mr. Casey, you said in the beginning that the population, and demand, were growing. The answer lies in technology, but the trend is for people to reject technology. It doesn't make sense.
How did this conflict develop? What caused the gap? Why do people no longer trust technology, Mr. Casey?
