Thanks, Mr. Chair. You got a late start on the day, with horrible flights, so I can understand that you'd be a bit off; no problem at all.
I'm going to start with the canola growers.
Mr. Ammeter, you were talking near the end of your presentation about the importance of making science-based decisions when it comes to policy and regulations put forward by the government. One issue that we really haven't talked about yet, although certainly we're early in the study, is the importance of new technology and innovation right to the very beginning—seed development and those type of things.
I believe our climate goals and our biodiversity goals are achievable, but you need to ensure that the roadblocks are out of the way for you to achieve those goals. How important is it to have those science-based decisions on things like GMOs, gene editing and those types of things to allow us to meet our environmental goals and still meet our commitments in terms of yield, especially when we have a potential food security crisis around the world?
