Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses who came today. I don't really have a lot of time for a meaningful exchange, so I would just invite you to submit further briefs if you would like this committee to consider them for our report.
I would like to add to what Mr. Berthold was saying. Just so everyone in this room can hear this, the last time we had a minister of agriculture appear before this committee was on November 29. I was at the Standing Committee on International Trade last week with Minister Carr and Minister Bibeau. We had our one hour. But Chair, and Liberal colleagues, I think what's very clear is that this is an evolving issue and we need all hands on deck. We absolutely have to look at inviting a minister. If ministers are so sure of their policies and what they are doing and they are doing everything possible, surely they can come before this committee and defend their policies. We absolutely must consider that at some point.
I just want to put on the record that it's April 9, 2019, and the last time we had a minister before this committee was November 29. We absolutely need to have someone.
Ms. Reynolds, I have a quick question for you. You gave some great testimony during our mental health study. I was looking over that testimony. I'm wondering if you could say a few words as to what kind of questions you would like the Minister of Agriculture to answer if we are successful one day at getting her to appear before this committee.
