Thank you for the job, Mr. Chair.
Again, from a Canadian perspective, one of the things I think we need is a unified voice on agriculture. We don't have an ambassador for agriculture. We have lots of people around who talk, but we don't have a unified voice or a common voice to champion this. I think that is something we could really use.
On the standpoint of how we do the implementation, it has to give us bang for our buck. What's the rate of return on the investment? I don't believe we've got to where we are in Canada because it didn't make economic sense. It makes economic, environmental and social sense with everything the farmers have already done. We need to be myopically focused on those economic, environmental and social returns and not see them as a trade-off for one another. I think that's where the whole mindset shift has to take to place.
New tools and new innovation are absolutely key. We've heard from the other witnesses today about the lack of access to tools and technologies. That's a pity. I know that needs to happen, and Canada needs to be at the forefront of that.
