Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Barton, for being available to answer some questions for us.
With regard to Canadian businesses not dealing with new technology, I think the report says that Canadian businesses are particularly slow to adjust. You use the example of John Deere in the report, noting how they were leaders in tractors, and now they're becoming leaders in technology. It's probably an example that most people don't realize or associate with agriculture, and this committee has heard quite a bit about the opportunities in agriculture and technology specifically.
What is it about Canadian companies, and why aren't they embracing or tackling this change faster compared to maybe some other countries? Is it a lack of incentive, or is it a lack of know-how or ability? Where should we focus to get the Canadian companies to speed up to face the changes?
