Thank you very much.
We've heard a lot today about resiliency in agriculture and how that affects these programs. All farmers in Canada don't want to ever have to use these programs.
There has been a lot of good work done in Saskatchewan, particularly at some of these research farms. I know that Dr. Charlebois spent some time in Saskatchewan, so he'll understand this very clearly. When we look at, for example, the zero-till technology that was developed at Indian Head, this technology has probably done more to build resiliency, especially in the Prairies and, I would argue, in dryland farming across the world, than just about any other thing that has been developed—in my lifetime, anyway.
I wonder whether Dr. Charlebois could comment on that, and how he thinks the closure of these research centres might affect resiliency, particularly in the prairie provinces.
