I'll give a brief background of our group. We're 13 farms within Prince Edward Island. We're very fortunate to have a great coordinator, John Phillips, behind us, and Andrea McKenna as well, who is our executive director. Within our group, we work very closely with researchers at the federal level who are from across Atlantic Canada.
We all know that with climate change, whether we're potato farmers, dairy farmers or what have you, we're being forced to become more efficient because our margins are shrinking. Research has to be done to make us more efficient and progressive.
When the research is done, there is a gap before it gets translated to the producers. Within our organization, the researchers are working directly on our farms. They're coming out to the farms and setting up trials. They're addressing the needs within the industry, which is huge.
I think the policy would promote researchers being at the farm level and working with our associations.
