Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank the witnesses for taking part in our consultation on the next agricultural policy framework.
I am very pleased that you spoke about the labour shortage. For a number of years, the agriculture sector has truly been held hostage. We all know that more food will have to be produced in order to feed the growing population. So there is much work to be done in this regard.
Mr. Couture, you mentioned the digital shift. In June, I accompanied the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food on a trip to China. I was very surprised to see how the Alibaba group works. There is nothing similar here, in Canada.
Can you tell us how things have changed? What advice would you give us to make the most of this opportunity?
