Mr. Buy, can you also for the committee's benefit talk about the relationship between local processing capacity and our primary producers and just how important that relationship is?
I know when I talk to farmers in my riding of Cowichan—Malahat—Langford, if they had that ability to add value to their products, maybe it would encourage them to expand their operations. It might actually encourage more people to get into the farming business.
If you could expand a bit more on that for our committee's benefit, that would be great.
