Thanks, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank all of our presenters today for their presentations.
I'll be focusing my questions—and I thought we were going to be getting a few minutes for some of my colleagues here as well on the agriculture side with Mr. Currie here and his colleagues and with Mr. Leslie.
You've both indicated that the industry is price-takers. I come from a farming background and I know that, but I wonder if you could expand on how this just transition has impacted a lot of the rural communities.
Mr. Currie and Mr. Leslie, you made some comments. I'd like you to expand on some of the ones about the investment in technology. The status quo has never been acceptable—I wrote that down here—to stay ahead in food production here domestically and for export. What precipitated my writing that down was your comment about how the industry has been leading in technology to provide the food we are going to need in the future as well. What do you specifically recommend to our committee to ensure that these farmers and our rural communities won't be negatively impacted by the just transition?
Mr. Currie, maybe you could start.
