It's difficult to know how many jobs we would add. We do know that agriculture and agrifood probably employ one in eight Canadians. It's the third largest contributor to GDP. Jobs would be added.

We grow and sell the seed, but it's the whole value-added chain, the whole suppliers, all the communities.
