Of course, I have a bias, but I certainly think that Canada fights above its weight in developing seed varieties. I think we're one of the leaders in the world, certainly proportionate to our size.
One of the biggest areas in our research and development branch is developing varieties. It's an area of public good, and if industry is not in that space, we are developing the varieties—for example, in wheat right now—and those varieties are very successful. That's why we're having record yields in the prairies, for example. Most of those varieties of wheat or barley are varieties that we've developed at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.
It's the same thing with potato development. We're developing varieties of potatoes that Canadian growers are growing and exporting.
