We've seen it time and time again, and Canada's pulse industry presently supports tens of thousands of jobs in this country. Farmers are big investors back into their operations. They're drivers not only in supporting the rural economy but also in helping to fund and support jobs and growth throughout the value chain, whether that's at an elevator in rural Saskatchewan or at a port in Vancouver and the chain throughout. The more money that's brought back into the sector, the more that's invested back into the Canadian economy.
