Thanks, Chair.
I know that Canada is definitely a world leader when it comes to agriculture and agri-food, but I get really excited when we talk about innovation. In the work of this committee, we have undertaken several studies that have highlighted some really impactful innovations, whether it be research in soil science that can help to preserve the health of our soils, vertical growing, aquaponics, artificial intelligence or compostable packaging. There are so many opportunities for innovation.
I notice in the main estimates that there's a fairly large budget allocation of $711 million. Just as a starting question, how does that break down in terms of programming? I wonder if you or your departmental officials could help break that down for us.
