Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to follow up on your earlier comments to welcome Mr. Yacub Adam also to the House. He’s a resident of Weledeh and I welcome Yacub. Great pleasure.
My questions today are to the Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment. The Territorial Farmers Association is eager to participate in the development of Growing Forward II programming, as I mentioned. There’s no better source of the hands-on input we need to craft the best programming before we commit to it for five years. The association has been invited to provide written comments, but as I said in my statement, they’re eager to do much more than that.
So will the Minister commit that once a draft set of programs has been developed, he will take this draft back to the association for their further comments and insights to ensure it’s highly relevant? Mahsi.
