When we look at our strategic plan for the industry, we're looking to have stable and open trade. In terms of the mandate of this committee, we're looking to improve productivity through sustainable production and we're looking at making sure we maximize the value of what we produce. Internally, here in Canada, there are many things that the industry is doing for the three pillars of the stool, and government also has a role when it comes to things such as infrastructure and the transportation system we have for rail. I'll repeat that Bill C-49 is an incredible move forward to help us have better rail service, and we hope that bill passes as soon as possible.
When we look at other things that help us grow, as well as barriers that we see here in Canada, it has to do with the limited regulatory capacity we have to enable our exports globally. We need our scientists to be able to work with other scientists in other countries. That means that regulatory agencies such as the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and the Pest Management Regulatory Agency need to have the mandate and the resources to be able to have science-based rules that help us to trade.
Those are some of the main ones we face. Certainly when we look at how we adapt to climate change, we need to do so in a way that maintains our competitiveness as well. Our industry is working very collaboratively with jurisdictions to get frameworks in place that help our processing plants and our growers do that.
