It certainly is. Thank you.
It also fits in with the other investments we're making as a government with infrastructure and with broadband, which you mentioned previously, so thank you.
If I could switch, women remain under-represented in sections of the agriculture and agri-food sector, according to 2016 census data. In primary agriculture, 35% of farm employees were women, and 41% in food and beverage processing. In primary agriculture specifically, women remain under-represented in farm operator positions. Of all the farm operators, only 29% were women.
There are barriers that women face entering and progressing within the sector, such as balancing family, child care and business responsibilities or access to networking and mentorship opportunities, access to capital financing and gaps in skills training.
Can you tell us about the measures taken by our government to help with these under-represented groups in Canadian agriculture?
