Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank the representatives from the department for being here today.
In recent weeks and months, several witnesses have told us that it is important for the government to invest in research and development. You talked about it in your presentation, too. It's one of the things that will make us stand out, right here in Canada and on the world scene. It will enable us to achieve the targeted volume of exports, grow our economy and support our farmers.
Can you tell us a bit about what is planned in this respect? How do you intend to ensure that this plan is understood by all Canadians?
