Thank you very much.
I want to thank all of the witnesses for their contributions in feeding Canadians and indeed the world, and for their contributions today.
By way of commentary, it's probably painfully obvious to most members of the committee that the United Kingdom's desire to conclude trade agreements with the rest of the world post-Brexit is quite strong given their interest in CPTPP and their interest in the Canada-U.K. deal, but I'll just leave that where it is.
Mr. Currie, I want to start with you. If you could, give me your response in about 90 seconds or so.
Usually when we talk about supply management and its 50-year legacy after it was created by Pierre Trudeau's government, we talk about what it's done domestically. Mr. Currie, you talked about the idea of food security around the planet. I think that's come into sharp focus for all of us as parliamentarians, given the unjust and illegal war in Ukraine and Russia's invasion.
Can you elaborate a little bit on how domestic supply management rules of the kind we're trying to do with this bill actually help shore up not just food security for Canadians, but also how Canadian farmers get food to the rest of the planet?
