Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
[Technical difficulty—Editor] from the National Farmers Union.
I think you made it quite clear in your opening comments that the supply chain issues cannot be looked at in a silo apart from the ongoing climate crisis. In my home province of British Columbia, last year we transitioned, in the space of three months, from brutal wildfires to some of the worst flooding we've ever seen, effectively isolating Vancouver and its port from the rest of the country for a fair amount of time.
Of course, we've seen disastrous droughts in the Prairies and the incredible impacts they've had on farmers and supply chains there. I invite you to expand on some of your opening remarks. From your perspective and the National Farmers Union's perspective, what do we need to shift systematically to create resilience and flexibility in our food system that will mitigate our having to put out these fires or react all the time to these events, which we know are going to part of a pattern in future years?
