That's a great question. I think you're right to name it that. We sometimes make these conversations about farming, and we drift into a conversation just about fruits and vegetables and crops, but local protein is a very important part of the mix. As an operator, I know that's one of the things that are most in demand.
On the affordability crisis, I think all of us in this room are feeling it when we walk into a corporate grocery store now. The price of protein is extremely high. Accessing local is one of the ways you can see the impact for people. They can reach a more affordable price point.
I don't have an answer on the exact place the federal government should sit in de-risking, other than to say that I think it is a very important project to gather people in community—in collectives, in co-operatives or in other shared structures—so that these kinds of facilities have community ownership and are governed by community and by more than one player in the ecosystem.
