Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and thank you to our witnesses for some great information. It's been enlightening. I'm going to drink water, not tea, for the rest of the day, since you talked about some of the numbers on diet-related diseases. I know that's something we have to address in terms of dealing with the root cause, and not the consequences, of some of these problems. I appreciate what you're saying.
One of the concerns I have about food policy is that I believe it's going to be the basis of a new Canada food guide. I think Mr. Bacon showed the Swedish food guide. What concerns me is that it seems that we're picking winners and losers in the agriculture sector. We are going away from animal proteins, such as chicken and beef. We're encouraging Canadians to have only vegetable-based proteins. For us, as a government, and as the ag committee specifically, I don't believe it is our job to be picking winners and losers in the agriculture sector. I think those are all healthy choices.
I would like your opinion. Is this something you've spoken with your members about? What would be your view on what I would consider drastic changes to our Canada food guide in terms of selecting winners and losers in the agriculture sector?
Mr. Dahl, go ahead.
