Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to continue talking about buying local.
In the 41st Parliament, my colleague from Salaberry—Suroît introduced a bill that would require government institutions to source their food locally. I think that she will soon introduce a similar bill. I cannot talk about all the details because the legislation has still not been introduced in the House, but it would be worthwhile to study such a bill.
I would like to come back to the report of the special rapporteur, who came in 2012. I started on the ag committee in 2012; that was when we had the Conservative government. When the special rapporteur came to Canada and put forward his 19-page report with recommendations, there wasn't much action. Now we have a new government, and this government has made a promise to move forward with a food strategy, which is very good, and we're doing this study at committee.
Can we go back to what was said in 2012? Has there been any progress made? In the four priorities that were announced by the Minister of Agriculture, we don't talk about right to food specifically. I think it should be mentioned, and it's not too late to highlight it more.
Can I get some comments around that, please, Madame Bronson?
