Mr. Speaker, when it comes to food security, I think ITI is doing an awful lot of work for getting community gardens and other mechanisms in our communities. I think the commercial fish work that we are doing goes a long way to food security. One of the things that Health and Social Services do, and it is building upon the work that is being done by ITI, is we are modifying legislation to allow people to sell produce that they are growing in their own gardens. The next step will be finding ways through regulation policy to allow people to sell more complicated food like meats and other things. These are things that will last for extended periods of time, but we have to do it right. We have to make sure that we are doing it, to ensure that people are eating safe foods if it is being sold. Those are the types of things. Those aren't the only things. This is certainly an area that we need to keep having more and more discussion as better technology and more information comes to the table, but we are trying to make improvements in this area. We will be working with our partners, including federal governments, territorial governments, communities, and NGOs.
