Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of the witnesses for being here today. I'm going to start with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.
We're facing challenges to our food system and food security for people in this country. Right now, according to the Auditor General, we don't have a plan to respond to a crisis that would affect the entire food system. Your department's response so far is that you want to develop an action plan and have a stakeholder approach by fall of 2022. Stakeholder engagements are estimated to be finished in September to outline a path forward.
I want to make sure that we're not in the middle of planning another plan to make a plan for half a year from now. We're talking about food and the ability for Canadians to eat. Are we doing anything more than simply making a plan to have a plan?
