Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to all the witnesses.
Madam Minister, let me thank you for appearing here this afternoon. The committee is very fortunate to have this opportunity to learn from your experiences, not just as Minister of Health, but as someone who, along with family and community, has seen the need for a nutritious food program.
As a northerner, could you please elaborate for the committee on some of the problems you encountered with the old food mail program, based on your own experiences as a consumer, as well as what you've heard from your constituents in your role as a member of Parliament?
