Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to start by thanking you, Justine and Tom, for being here today and for all the work you've done in agriculture and agri-food through this pandemic in supporting the farmers and working with the industry associations to provide the relief that has been given to our farmers and our food-processing industry.
My questions are really much broader in terms of how the food supply chain resilience can be enhanced.
We've heard about the challenges with interprovincial trade and also with some of the global effects of the pandemic on supply chains. I'm wondering about two things.
One is locally sourced products. You've talked about the medium term and long term. I was wondering whether there were any plans to try to increase small local farming and the ability of those farmers to get their foods to market in and around the areas of need.
