Agriculture committee  Thank you. You will remember that we have launched the food waste challenge. This is a very exciting initiative that will bring us new, innovative solutions in terms of business models and technology as well. In my mandate letter, we can see that there is a fund for food waste th

Agriculture committee  We are looking for a way to support producers so that they can deal with high input costs and the tariff.

Agriculture committee  You're absolutely right. We had several discussions with the industry and the provinces, and we acknowledge that it's a particularly difficult year in terms of bee mortality. We have ramped up our efforts to find safe sources for bees, both queen bees and others, from abroad.

Agriculture committee  That's it. I have trouble remembering the term. We would like to import large quantities of bees from reliable sources.

Agriculture committee  We're working with the industry to really understand the needs, what sector and where, and what mechanism would be the most appropriate to support that.

Agriculture committee  I don't think so.

Agriculture committee  There are two different things here. On one side we are supporting Ukraine with severe sanctions on Russia, and we're being strong on that. On the other side we are—

Agriculture committee  On one side, we're supporting Ukraine; on the other side, we're being ambitious on reducing emissions because we know it's essential for the future of our agriculture.

Agriculture committee  PMRA is an important component connected with the agriculture department. I don't have anything specific in mind, but I don't know if the—
