Thank you, panel, for being here. I have to say I get excited when I listen to people like your organizations. I guess I'm a little bit of an amateur farmer myself too.
However, the one thing that stands out is the opportunity. I love that entrepreneurial spirit that you all generate, that you show.
We were talking earlier to Mr. Hilgartner and Ms. Fischbuch about the pulse industry and how that has mushroomed. Sometimes when I get the opportunity, I love to explore in my own mind the unguided hand and how that just feeds and goes into so many different directions.
When we talk about pulses, I must confess that before I got into politics, I had never heard of pulses. I had heard about beans and all these other things.
Tell me, where is that market going, and where is the possibility for expansion? I think we as North Americans are beginning to consume more pulse products, but obviously, across the globe, tell us a bit about the possibilities of that.
