Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you both for coming here. I've seen you both in Guelph recently. It's great to get back together in Ottawa.
Mr. Gray, when we were at the soil conservation event this past July, we saw a lot of examples of soil management. One that sticks in my mind is the use of genetics to develop root structures that go deeper into the soil to return carbon deeper into the soil, and developing the genetics around root architecture so that our soil has a chance to get the carbon replaced. Could you comment on how the interaction between your department and the innovation and science department might work so that we can get solutions like this developed and then to market? How do you collaborate?
