Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Pegg, like Guelph, in Steveston—East Richmond we have a phenomenal food bank, in Richmond. The executive director, Alex Nixon, is phenomenal. He gets involved in the community. We were chatting about the same kind of thing, not exactly what you said—that food insecurity is not about food—but that we need economic growth to have a progressive society.
One thing Mr. Nixon discusses with me is the whole notion of buying local. For our food policy, we export food, but we want food security, so we want to buy local. Do you have any suggestions or thoughts on how we can take a buy local approach, maybe make it regional, and make it part of our economic system for food production? Are they incompatible?
