Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here.
I'd also like to thank Mr. Bergeron for teaching me a new word in French, “autofilibuster”.
I would like to ask Mr. Hagerman a question, please.
You had really insightful comments at the beginning, when you started off by saying that food security is global security.
We know that the World Food Programme has stated that 345 million people are facing acute levels of food insecurity in 2023. That's double what was there before.
Can you elaborate a bit more on how food security—when people have food and are not prevented from having food for whatever reason—promotes global security?
