Thank you, sir.
Good morning, Minister.
We know that Canada and the agriculture sector, in my mind, get overlooked sometimes. The Canadian Federation of Agriculture has a goal of increasing our GDP. It's $150 billion now, and one in nine jobs are in agriculture. It has significantly contributed to the Canadian economy.
I think the goal of increasing that $100 billion over 10 years to $250 billion is going to need the co-operation and support of the federal government. With the national food security strategy that you released last week, what are the first concrete actions that are going to take place, and what deliverables will we see over, let's say, the next 12 months so that farmers and processors can measure the success of the strategy?
