Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to welcome all our colleagues joining us as new members to the committee. I am pleased to be working with you on this study of a food policy.
My question is for each of you.
I'm really interested in the whole issue of education about the food policy. In terms of the environment, just think how much time and energy have been invested over the past 20 years to ensure that consumers and the entire population recycle. Today, we feel guilty if we throw a small plastic jar in the garbage instead of the recycling bin. The fact remains that it has taken that many years. My fondest hope is that the educational aspect plays a significant role in the new food policy. I would like to hear your comments on that.
Clearly, when consumers choose a product, they need to know what they are buying, what the nutritional value of the product is, and so on. You must have an opinion on the matter.
Let me start with you, Mr. Le Vallée.
