Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much to our witnesses for some great input.
I wanted to ask Naresh first, if I could.... I had an opportunity to meet with the Soil Conservation Council of Canada at the GrowCanada Conference in Calgary a couple of weeks ago, and they brought up an interesting point. As we talk about where we want to go in terms of our agricultural output.... Mr. Desrochers had some interesting numbers there on growing more on much less land, but if we want to set our goalpost on where we want to go, I think it's also important to know where we start.
One of their main concerns is that there really hasn't been an in-depth soil analysis of the status of soil in Canada as a national program since maybe the late eighties, early nineties. Has any work been done on that at some of the universities, either the University of Guelph or others that you know? Are there any that are doing more of an in-depth analysis of the current status of soil in Canada?
