Thanks, Mr. Chair.
I just want to clarify something, Ms. Loftsgard. You mentioned that more farmers are going to organic, but in the document you presented to this committee some time ago, which asked for support and had recommendations you wanted of the government, the Organic Trade Association said that organic operators fell for the first time, in 2022, by 3.8%.
Which number is right? Is the number of operators going down, or, to your earlier comment today, is the number of operators actually going up?
