Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. It's a pleasure to be joining the committee today.
Thank you to the witnesses for the excellent testimony already.
I want to start by asking a question of the BC Craft Farmers Co-op. In terms of your policy proposals, you mentioned that one of the big barriers was the federal government not recognizing cannabis as legitimate farm activity, so it's not eligible for assistance.
I was hoping you could explain to this committee how that could change. How could that be recognized as legitimate farm activity, and what would the impact of that be?
