In an other part of your brief, you talked about the need to be proactive in terms of research and product support. In my riding, I have been aware of a problem that affects Canada as a whole — the renewal of orchards to grow apples and similar fruits.
In Canada at present, over 50% of apples for industrial consumption — prepared pies and similar products — come from China and other Asian countries. For a long time now, apple producers have been asking for the kind of infrastructure program that would enable Canada to facilitate the renewal of orchard stock.
Is this be kind of thing you would like to see for this crop and others?
