Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'd like to move over to Ag Canada. In the context of this bill, which is seeking to have not only a drought strategy, at least, but a moisture or a flooding strategy, it seems as though the government's drought policy itself is a bit backwards. We're prepared to create a bureaucracy that predicts drought, while we are simultaneously cutting our agricultural research science that helps farmers survive it. Could you help square this circle for me?
