The important aspect of that goes back to ensuring that we're competitive with our trading partners. I know that the health minister has been a great benefit in her role to agriculture and agri-food. I certainly appreciate it, and I know many of our stakeholders do too.
As part of budget 2025, we invested about $150 million in the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. We wanted to progress on digitization and export certificates, and we also wanted regulatory alignment with other countries, which is what we're continuing to work on. Since I've been around this place, I've heard many stories about containers being stuck at ports because of a misspelled word or something on that level. It was extremely important.
Innovation technology is going to play a significant role in agriculture going forward, and we need to make decisions quicker than we have in the past. We're catching up a little, but we still have a long way to go. Drones are certainly going to play a part in that. It's not just about spraying with drones; it's about planting seeds as well.
There are lots of opportunities there. We have to make sure that we get the trusted information and get it into farmers' hands to enable them to be competitive, especially when you see other countries that we're trading with or that we're importing food from utilizing this technology, for example.
In Canada, we need to step up, and that's what we're trying to do.
