Mr. Speaker, I am not sure if that member's memory serves him correctly, but I will go back to 2011 and 2012, which may jog his memory a little bit: A focused agriculture research presence should move away from scattered soil research, siloed projects and toward a mission-driven, outcome-oriented system that treats food production as a cornerstone of national security, economic resilience and climate adaptation. This is what we are hearing from our stakeholders. We are going to move agriculture forward, and we are going to make science and research a big part of it.
