Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My question is for the team from the Université du Québec en Abitibi‑Témiscamingue.
In 2008, a truly disastrous global crisis took place. Canada put in place its economic action plan, which was implemented in 2009, 2010 and 2011. I remember making an announcement on forage research in Abitibi‑Témiscamingue, which is a very beautiful region, by the way. We know that, in Abitibi‑Témiscamingue, forage crops benefit from more sunlight than in southern Quebec. Funding had been made available. I don't remember the amount, but I believe it was about $2 million. This funding was granted for research on forage quality—primarily to highlight it—and for research on yield potential. The funding was also used in the beef sector, as it's a region where beef production is significant.
Has this funding been beneficial for the entire forage and beef sectors? What have the results been? We know that the results take a few years to materialize after an investment. If you remember what happened, could you tell us about it?
