Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good afternoon, Minister Bibeau. Thank you for joining us. I also want to acknowledge my colleagues.
Minister Bibeau, you spoke about the $50 million fund for the purchase of surplus food. I've spoken with some producers, and they haven't received any details regarding this fund yet. Right away, you spoke of delays. We should have some details soon, but when?
What productions will be identified for the purchase of food? Has any progress been made in this respect? Some food is perishable, and time is of the essence. There's a food bank in my area. I know that food banks must receive the food as quickly as possible.
When will we have the details of this program, Minister Bibeau?
