Innovation is key, and I've told you a few times when I've come to this committee that the producers has been investing a lot in the last few years to innovate, to improve the economy, and to improve farm practices. When I've mentioned proAction, it's exactly that. It's a program to innovate and make sure that we follow the best practices. The Going Forward 2 money has been used to support the efforts of the farmers, because we do invest ourselves. It maximizes our investment. It makes sure that we can grow our industry, that we can develop the technology, and that we can make sure that we maximize that.
I think one important element of the presentation was related to knowledge transfer. It's one thing to do research, but the next thing is to make sure it's been used and it's been disseminated to the producer. That's the second phase of our national strategy. I've mentioned in the presentation that we have worked to ensure coordination among the provinces, and that we focused on priorities so we can all work together and maximize our dollars.
The second aspect of it that we'll complete for 2018 is a knowledge transfer strategy, as well. This is key. It has to be part of access to the farmers.
