Thank you very much for your testimony.
I represent a very agricultural riding. In fact, 85% of the land of the Shefford riding is considered an agricultural sector. Obviously, I speak regularly with producers, and they are concerned about climate change. It undoubtedly creates some insecurity.
However, many also talk to me about possibilities. As you said, the agricultural sector is extremely resilient, but it is always ready to come up with solutions and adapt to the different constraints it faces.
Could you talk to me about these possibilities? Dr. Michaud, since you briefly discussed this at the start of your presentation, perhaps Dr. Bennett could answer my question first.
What do you think about the possibility that our agricultural producers could increase their production? Clearly, they still want to feed the people of Canada, and there are a lot of possibilities on the world stage right now. How do you see the opportunities that the agricultural sector has for increasing its production?
I'll hear from you first, Dr. Bennett, and Dr. Michaud could respond afterwards.
