There's absolutely no question: you have the farmers in your part of the world who can do it. In fact, coming back from China, we had hybrid blueberry and agricultural tourism groups with me. It was some interesting; they did get signed contracts, but they also did a lot in promoting their agricultural tourism. There are a lot of people who want to come from China just to see the process, to see what goes on from the time it's planted until it's processed. It could be the winery.
They also have a winery. I was just talking to them. They have a big operation. Without a doubt, these kinds of people have gained a lot on these trade missions.
Yes, you're absolutely right. There's a great market and it can be filled, and we will make sure we do, but again, it takes investment. It takes some investment from the agricultural sector and it takes some investment from the government. That's what we have to do. That's why we put the $100 million into science and research over the last two years. That's why we have the innovation budget of $1.2 billion under Navdeep Bains's department. Agriculture is one of the six industries that has been identified to help grow our GDP. Hopefully, you'll receive this money. It's under his authority and you receive the money on merit, of course, but I'm sure the agricultural sector will be quite successful in that area too.
There's some money. It takes a lot of money. We have countries all over the world doing what we're doing, so we have to make sure we're there. We have to make sure we're promoting, we have to make sure we're doing the research, and then we have to make sure we're selling the product that we do produce.
