Thank you, Mr. Chair.
It was quite hard to attend that meeting and not be able to speak. I'd like to thank my colleague Yves Perron for joining me for this meeting that deals more specifically with agricultural topics of interest, for which he is our party's critic and in which he is an expert.
I would like to go further with the question he asked Mr. Lansbergen about the fact that, in many cases, producers prefer to export their products rather than sell them locally.
First, what can be done to counter this situation?
Second, we know that a lot of products are consumed in Asian countries but we don't consume them here and they may be thrown into the ocean or simply thrown away. How can we further develop markets for products that are less popular in the west, but that may be very popular in the east?
