Absolutely. Thank you for the question.
When we look at the AAFC research closures, the seed sector is disproportionately impacted by those cuts. It is about releasing varieties, but it's also about the maintenance of those varieties. About 20% to 25% of the seed that we certify in this country—Canada has one of the world's largest seed certification systems globally—has flown through the Indian Head research farm at one point in its production cycle.
We've heard from Ag Canada a desire to maybe move that site to Saskatoon. That's going to create some gaps there that are really going to have an impact on our ability to have higher-generation breeder seed available, which is really the foundation of our system.
I watched Ms. Oatway's testimony, and yes, definitely, the points she made about impacts on our breeding, testing and all that are true. It's really that we're losing a network. The network effect is very real here. It's not just Ag Canada that is being impacted here, but it's all the smaller research stations that rely on these sites to be able to test their varieties.
