Thank you, Mr. MacDougall.
Thank you, Mr. Perron.
Mr. MacGregor has ceded his two and a half minutes. As your chair, I haven't had the opportunity to ask a few questions, so if you'll permit me two or three minutes, I will do so.
Thank you, Mr. MacDougall and Ms. Denham.
We heard from the minister and also from Madam Klymenko about the explicit targeting of the plant-breeding research station in Kharkiv. We heard from FAO officials this morning that there is work under way to try to salvage, I'll say, those 160,000 different varieties and plant-breeding types.
I can only assume that it is extremely important to rebuild that stock. We know how important the research has been in Canada to develop weather-resistant varieties and even canola and different types of that nature. Is this something you're aware of and is there something that Canada can do to be a part of rebuilding that system? Is that something that GAC is aware of and looking at?
