Thank you very much, Mr. Perron. I always appreciate having the opportunity to expand on certain ideas.
Right now, I think it's important to look at this as a proposal for consideration. Obviously, the tariff or policy won't be put in place today, but we are getting ready for tomorrow. Getting ready for tomorrow involves a lot of things. We have identified, and pushed for, nine measures. We will follow up with those in writing, so the committee will have the information.
I think many things can be done when it comes to productivity and the way research and innovation can contribute to productivity. In that respect, it's important to ensure that Canadian farms, food producers and the rest of the supply chain can be competitive internationally. That's the most important thing on that front.
I think it's also important to review how federal funding programs are developed. In 2023, the Standing Committee on Science and Research recommended that the government review the various funding programs for redundancies. The government responded to the report, but did not address the issue through the same lens at all, let's just say.
