Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it was a pleasure to also be at that conference albeit in my case very briefly. I have, however, already received a summary from the department about their attendance. And immediately on my arrival on the Friday, I was very pleased to hear from them that they had been at the visioning exercise that took place the day before. I would share the comments earlier. There was a distinct sense of excitement and interest in the room because it did stretch across the entire food value chain from production and growing, harvesting, through to the commercial aspects of the food chain.

So with respect to some next steps, Mr. Speaker, there is a report coming back from the executive director of the agri-food organization, and I am quite confident that when we receive that, we'll be able to work with her and action some of the items that came through. I know they'll be -- I've also spoken to their president of the board, and he is also looking to sit down with myself and the department to see and map out where we can all work better and work together to move forward following this conference. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
