Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank all of our witnesses for their excellent testimony today. You are contributing tremendously to our study on food insecurity.
I want to start with Mayor Jones. As a former mayor, I appreciate your passion and your heart for your people. It was obvious in your testimony. I also come from a northern and remote community. I have to admit, though, it's not nearly as remote and inaccessible as yours.
Near the end of your testimony, when the chair had to cut you off, you were talking about the barriers to the nutrition north program and the entry into that. I think you were about to give some ideas or solutions, or maybe identify what those barriers were.
Could you take a minute or two and finish those comments you were making right when you got cut off?
