Madam Chair, through you, I would share that the NRC has a research centre in Saskatoon that is very strongly focused on crop design.
The NRC's history in agriculture goes back to supporting the invention of canola, a multi-billion-dollar industry. We still see this as a key role.

We've supported that through a challenge program over the last number of years.
It's a very high priority for NRC to stay focused on the agri-food economy as a big part of Canada's contribution to feeding the world, which we think is a very important thing. Of course, it's in our strategy, and we've maintained our support for that research—
