Thank you, Chair.
I'll turn to Mr. Lemaire and the CPMA.
One of our previous witnesses was the Agri-Food Innovation Council. I was really interested in your comments in your opening statement about the tremendous potential that exists for value-added products. Despite the challenges you listed, I know that there have been some success stories. There are companies that are making it in Canada under current conditions. That's what I'm really interested in.
I asked the AIC about some of the common threads that weave through these success stories, and they say it's the presence of an ecosystem that can bring together researchers, entrepreneurs, industry reps, investors to mentor entrepreneurs and so on.
Can you talk to our committee about some of those success stories, about any members of the CPMA who have found success under current conditions in innovative food processing, and about what led to their success?
