  1. Food Security in the Face of Global Instability

    Certainly, in any trade negotiation, it should be a point of discussion. On the ASF zoning arrangements for the pork industry, I'm told by the Canadian Pork Council that it's been ongoing for eight years, so it's a massi…

  2. Food Security in the Face of Global Instability

    No one likes change, but the closures' relevance to what we're doing is more on the operational side as opposed to the science side. The science side is the important aspect that people keep talking about, and we're not…

  3. Food Security in the Face of Global Instability

    Based on my conversation with our counterparts at the G7, they're all concerned about fertilizer. With this new peace agreement—hopefully it holds—in the Strait of Hormuz, we've seen the price of fertilizer already start…

  4. Food Security in the Face of Global Instability

    No, because basically the operational side is something that I separate out from the science side. On the Nappan front, I think it's fair enough that there was a question asked by your colleague earlier, and I think I ne…

  5. Food Security in the Face of Global Instability

  6. Food Security in the Face of Global Instability

    We had a discussion the other day on Alto, and I've been in recent contact with UPA's Martin Caron. We had good discussions. I've been talking to the transport minister with concerns relevant to the agriculture sector in…

  7. Food Security in the Face of Global Instability

    It's not a yes-or-no question because, to your first part of your question, there are tariffs from the EU on fertilizer coming out of Russia, so part of that question I can't answer because you're not directing it in the…

  8. Food Security in the Face of Global Instability

    To the first part of your question, the first thing we started working on when I became minister, which I had a concern about, was the regulatory impediments farmers face each and every day around seeds, feeds, fertilize…

  9. Food Security in the Face of Global Instability

    Thank you, Chair. It's great to see some new faces, obviously, at this committee. I sat on this committee for a number of years, and I certainly enjoyed every moment of it. Once again, I want to recognize the important…

  10. Food Security in the Face of Global Instability

    As I've said many times before, I believe right now we're at.... Let me get these numbers right. Deputy, correct me if I'm wrong, but there are 23 scientists who are presently moving from one facility to another, and the…
