Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank the witnesses, whose testimony was rather eloquent.
I am the critic and phantom minister for agriculture and agri-food. We can all agree that the agriculture and agri-food industry plays a major role in the Canadian diet. Unlike money, which doesn't grow on trees, food grows in fields. Agricultural products have to be looked after and processed.
Mr. Arango, I liked one of your comments. You said you wished food manufacturers would innovate. You are sure that those people should have a say in the development of the new food guide. They can actually help contribute to improving the Canadian diet.
Ms. Lewis, although I am getting a bit off topic, I want to thank you, as well as the other Diabetes Canada representatives, for the important work you have done with the opposition parties on the tax credits for people with type 1 diabetes. Together, we have managed to have the government listen to reason. Today, hundreds of people are very happy with the work we have done together.
I want to thank the government for changing its position in this case. It is a good thing that the Liberals have recognized that a step in the wrong direction was made.
Mr. Lamarche, I will give you an opportunity to speak a little French. I am sure it will be good for you. During your presentation, you mentioned science several times. I got the impression that, in your opinion, a number of other elements should be taken into account before the next food guide is developed and distributed. Am I wrong?
