Kody Blois at the Agriculture and Agri-Food Committee

Thank you, Mr. MacGregor. We're at time.

I'm just going to ask one quick question of Ms. Haverstock, given my connection to the Annapolis Valley, and thank you for pointing out our beautiful valley.

I have two questions about controlled environment agriculture. You deal with the horticulture sector. I'm thinking about places like Den Haan, Nova Agri and Vermeulen that have different variations of those types of controlled-environment agriculture operations.

Do you see that as an important pathway in the future for the production of food?

Second, does the Government of Canada have a responsibility or a role in that, or is it best funded through the private sector, and there's available capital there?
