You make an excellent point on the research front. We can't develop best management practices unless we know what we should be doing and how we should be doing it. I think research and innovation are always a good investment, so we certainly support that.
You talked about how to manage riparian areas and grasslands, and how to develop BMPs, best management practices. I think that's really important. That is an area where we, as an agriculture industry, need support. As I mentioned before, it's really difficult to manage for a multitude of resources. Not only do you have to know how to take care of your animals, you have to know how to market your animals. You have to know how to take care of your riparian area and your species at risk, and the list goes on and on.
You can imagine that for a family farm—our average herd size in Canada is just over 60 head and is run by a family—that's a lot to take on, so support for those areas in terms of research, in terms of extension, is integral to conservation and agricultural efforts going forward.
Does that answer your question?
