Apple growers in Quebec have already spoken to me about a strategy for replanting. It was developed in the hope of producing a greater variety of apples, which is something consumers want. Would this strategy allow you to add varieties of apples to those we already have? If not, would it be used to replace some varieties of apples that we have at the moment?
I would also like to know how much it would cost all apple growers in Canada to make these changes? What exactly are you asking the government to do? I have seen this strategy a few times, but I would like you to explain the details of the replanting strategy to committee members. I would like to know how much it could produce and how much it might cost to implement it.
