Thank you for that perspective.
For the Foodgrains Bank, Mr. Hagerman, you talked about two things that Canada can do. We as a committee can take it as a clear recommendation that the Government of Canada increase food assistance through the Food Assistance Convention, that we peg our assistance to the consumer price index and that we really step up to the plate.
On your second part, on helping developing countries become more independent, I guess to realize resiliency, can you talk a bit about Canadian agricultural know-how? Is it in equipment or is it in our expertise in planting? Can you go into a bit more detail and help this committee make a recommendation in that regard?
