Thank you, Chair.
I want to thank everybody for their testimony today. I have found it extremely informative.
My first question is for you, Mayor Jones. Thank you so much for being here with us today. You talked a lot about nutrition north and the need for it to be more adaptive to the needs of the people in your region. You talked a lot about seniors, young mothers, and pregnant women, for example. I'm just wondering if you would say that maybe the federal government needs to change the nutrition north program so that it becomes more of a social program benefiting all people in your community versus just providing subsidies to the grocery stores. I wonder if you have any thoughts on that.
