Thank you very much. I appreciate your question.
Of course, when you become minister, I believe, of anything, the appropriate thing to do is travel across the country to make sure you're talking with the sector that you're involved with, and without a question, that applies in agriculture.
I've been right across the country a few times, and I've met with most of the ministers across the country, whatever stripe they might be. When I meet them, they're all interested in doing one thing, helping the agricultural sector.
What I'm interested in doing is making sure we work together to put programs in place. I could give you a list of what we did with programs and what we did on the climate action program and these types of things, but these are all done with provinces. Of course, the announcements we make on these types of things basically have a climate component to them, but we make sure that the provinces are very satisfied too.
Sometimes we deal with the provinces, and then we also deal with...like the Canola Council itself. They all are involved. In Manitoba, we made an announcement a couple of weeks ago and it ended up being $9.2 million for the federal government, about $17 million in total, when you put all of this together. That's done, of course, to make sure we're able to do many things, such as, perhaps, produce a better-quality seed—a seed that would grow in a drought situation or whatever—and of course to produce seed that produces a bigger crop.
Being a farmer myself, I know the number one thing a farmer has to do is produce the crop. If you don't produce a good crop, it's pretty difficult to make a profit, so that's a very important thing.
Also, all of the other factors come into play, too.
Thank you.
