Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank the witnesses for taking part in this study on the next agricultural policy framework.
Mike and Lauren, thank you so much for yesterday. Francis and I had the opportunity to go out with some other MPs and staff to visit an amazing farm. I think it was in Richmond. It was Jonathan Fraser. I'd also like to thank them for letting us disrupt their day and have them answer all of our questions. It was a great visit. It wasn't my first time on a chicken farm, but it was definitely impressive to see all their chickens, all the work they do, and how far we have come.
Mr. Dungate, in your presentation you said that you had worked hard to develop a program and that you had conducted an audit of this food safety program without government funding.
Do you think the next policy framework should stipulate a specific amount to help you conduct those audits?
