Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for all of this information. I have to admit, I'm a bit new to all this, so the witnesses are really educating me.
I'd like to share a little story with you. About 50 years ago, my father, a restaurant and hotel owner, installed a dishwasher. The fact that I can remember shows my age, on this day of birthdays. The dishwasher was fully mechanical—so no electronic parts. It worked on a pump, which distributed the hot and cold water to reach the right temperature, in accordance with health and safety standards. When my father installed the dishwasher, he told me that I should keep it as long as it kept running because the next one would last four or five years at most. He said I wouldn't be able to get another dishwasher like that one.
One thing that tends to help a business improve its bottom line is to save money on equipment. That's where a business can really make gains.
I'll tell you the connection to agriculture.
My question is for Ms. Sereda.
