Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to the minister for being here, and to the department for its support.
Thanks for your rapid response to the crisis out west. It was great to see in real time how quickly you responded to a great need, and will continue to respond to the people who really need your help. It's good you're doing so much to move that forward. I know you're doing everything you can. That was last week's topic, and by the end of the week you were on it and had some solutions, so thank you for that.
Minister, in the last little while we had a report from Dominic Barton, and he singled out agriculture as one of the key sectors that Canada should be able to lead the world in. Innovation is going to be the key to that. I see in the estimates that there's $8.16 million allocated for innovation. We've had questions from some of our witnesses on how you interact with ISED, with Navdeep Bains' department. You mentioned him a little bit earlier. How does the innovation coming from the innovation, science, and economic development department relate to the innovation happening in the agriculture department?
