Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister, I'd like to talk about the issue of food.
Organic farming, which is a very important sector, has immense potential for growth, but it’s being held back by regulatory barriers that are stifling growth and competitiveness.
As part of the reform to reduce barriers, what is your department doing to unlock the potential of organic farming?
Perhaps one of the things that can be done is to stop fighting for funding to review the organic standard every five years. It would be easy to make this funding permanent. Data should also be made available to support the formulation of a comprehensive plan.
