Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much for your very instructive presentation on the market for the agriculture and agri-food sector. I think that the future is bright.
I do have one concern about the future, though. I am talking about population growth here in Canada and around the world. We know that demand for food products will grow as well. I don't have any figures to illustrate the population increase, but we know that it will be very high in the next 10, 20 and 30 years.
Can the departmental representative give the committee an idea of the support it plans to give to productivity, innovation, sectors, producers and processors? I think this will become an important issue.
