Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here today.
Ms. Brekveld, you touched on a couple of things that are near and dear to me, coming as I do from a very highly agricultural area in southern Ontario where we do a lot of fruit and vegetable production. I've been in the fruit and vegetable business for a lot of my life. My family has a long history there.
Seeing that we're heading into a recession, which is what we're hearing from experts out there, you talked about PACA—the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act—and the importance of having this in place for fruit and vegetable growers. If we're going to see a recession, I'm sure we're going to see some downturn for some of our businesses. I'm just wondering if you could speak to how important it is right now that we get this measure in place to protect our fruit and vegetable production.
