Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I'll share my speaking time with my colleague, Mr. Peschisolido.

I want to thank our witnesses for their presentation. My question is for Mr. Lee.

My name is Eva Nassif. I'm the member of Parliament for Vimy, a rural constituency in the municipality of Laval, Quebec. My constituency doesn't have any farmers, but it's home to a number of agri-food companies that need farmers.

You spoke—with great emotion—about the challenges involved in rearing animals. How could we maintain the viability of the agri-food industry in Canada while improving public confidence in animal welfare?
