Agriculture committee When I first joined the department, it was a revelation to me, first of all, to see how much the Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food was involved in international trade, but also to see how much it was linked to science and innovation.

Agriculture committee That's right. It is administered by our regional development agencies. In Quebec, we still talk about EDC. So there is $100 million to develop or support innovative businesses in the agricultural sector. It's really a great opportunity for them that needs to be talked about.

Agriculture committee I'm ready to answer any questions you have asked today when I have an answer to give you. First, just to make it clear, we are talking with the farmers.

Agriculture committee We are interfacing in different ways. As I had the chance to say—but maybe I said it in French—it is very important to me to get the new generation involved.
