Okay. Thank you.

I have a quick question for Mr. Lemaire.

You mentioned the national school food program, I believe. I'm a big proponent of that, of healthy food and dealing with food insecurity in Canada.

I have a question. We talk about the supply and demand balance. In Canada, demand and appetite have grown for certain types of foods because of the lower food prices, which have been kept down over the decades. I'm wondering what role you think education has in actually switching food consumption behaviours and how that can help with food insecurity.
