Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Caron, the committee has received one of your former students, Vincent Poirier. He's a professor at the Université du Québec en Abitibi‑Témiscamingue, or UQAT. He said that, according to you, we were 30 cm away from famine.
I'd like to address the issue of soil again.
Both you and Mr. Poirier said that field research is important because you can't always use a greenhouse to replicate soil conditions.
We know that there have been budget cuts and closures.
What would be necessary for research if we want a significant research network?
I spoke about the regions earlier. It was said that the research should cover all of Canada. You said earlier that resources would need to be added.
Can you tell us more about the subject?
