Thank you very much, Vice-Chair. It is good to see you here today.

Ms. Elver, I just wanted to touch on a few points that you've mentioned in your speech. It has to deal with preserving soil and water and protecting our environment with regard to agriculture. You just mentioned—I'm not sure if I heard you well—but you don't see a role for GMOs to play in there as the food production increases in the world?

By 2050, I think it's the FAO that says we need to increase our food production by at least 50%. You don't see a role for GMO or...?
