I'll change gears slightly. Someone earlier on—it could have been Mr. Dreeshen or Mr. MacGregor—talked about food security. After the last election, the agriculture minister's mandate letter, and I'm assuming it is in Madame Bibeau's mandate letter too, from the Prime Minister indicated that food security was one of his key focuses.

Can you tell the committee where we are on that and what specific programs and approaches we will be implementing on a food security platform?
