Ms. Bercier, I'm going to ask you two questions. If there isn't time, please respond in writing.
With respect to Alto, I'm getting two streams of concerns in my office, one from those in the path, as you've articulated, and one from across the country around the cost.
The minister stated in the House yesterday that 5,500 farms are affected and that there is going to be access supplied to those farms. I've not seen that anywhere in the world for high-speed rail. I'd like your comments on that and on the impacts.
Secondly, I see that SeCan is in your backdrop. They are very much opposed to the closures of agricultural research stations. You're a private enterprise seed breeder and distributor. Can you talk about the importance of agricultural research to the seed industry and to agriculture broadly?
