Agriculture committee  I think the minister has already answered that question.

Agriculture committee  Yes, a federally inspected slaughterhouse is one where you want your meat to cross outside the province, so you need to federally inspect it, and CFIA would be the one inspecting and setting the standards around that facility.

Agriculture committee  Yes, certainly, food safety would be a.... Yes.

Agriculture committee  I guess I would say that first we start with the research capacity, and I think a big focus of our research is on climate change and reducing emissions. The minister mentioned emissions from livestock, but they are certainly also in our cropping processes. We look at ways we can use technology or processes to reduce things like fertilizer inputs, which of course have a cost benefit for producers as well as they can reduce emissions.

Agriculture committee  I'm not sure, but I think most provinces already have programs to help farmers with mental health. We can check that for you.

Agriculture committee  I think the Canadian agricultural partnership allows the provinces to use the amounts for these types of programs.

Agriculture committee  I think that when we look at the suite, as the minister said, we look at the whole suite. Certainly, agri-recovery and the role it plays is part of the framework we have. We're certainly open to ideas. We talk to the provinces about it, but certainly if there are ideas from the committee around how we might improve that as a group of federal and provincial officials, we certainly are trying to find ways to make the system as responsive and effective as possible.

Agriculture committee  Yes.

Agriculture committee  I think it's probable that one of things is the fact that the last year and half to two years have been quite difficult in parts of the country. Obviously, when you look at these programs, there have been others who have been asking for the 70% to go to the 85% for a number of years.

Agriculture committee  No. We have a little bit of research centre capacity but nothing bigger.

Agriculture committee  My general view is that when we meet with stakeholders, we try to bring together the relevant federal, and sometimes provincial, partners to those discussions. If there's a discussion about, let's just say, processing capacity of any kind in Ontario, we would try to engage with provincial counterparts and with a regional development agency.

Agriculture committee  In the supplementary estimates?

Agriculture committee  Again, we have programming, agri-competitiveness at the federal level, that certainly is there for slaughterhouses, but also for all processors to work on equipment and technology that can be there to reduce costs or make their processes more environmentally sustainable. Provinces also have programming under the various provincial programs under the Canadian agricultural partnership that can help with that.

Agriculture committee  Yes. Do you want to talk a bit about that, Christine?

Agriculture committee  I am just going to say that the first round was generally smaller projects. It was focused on smaller projects. The second round, which we will launch in the coming weeks and months, will also have a component for larger projects that might bring together groups in a community or groups across communities to build more of a food system in a region.
