Agriculture committee  Yes. They have identified their interest, so we should take advantage of that.

Agriculture committee  There are a few things. With the broad financial and other programs that are out there, we do support the organic sector through, for example, our agriscience clusters.

Agriculture committee  I think there are a few things. We have the foundations with the trans-Pacific partnership agreement, which is, I think, improving the market access and the tariff conditions for our exporters going into Japan. I think that's critically important. I think the second piece is ofte

Agriculture committee  I would just say on slaughter capacity that what you'll often hear from the processors is that access to workers was important.
