Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I too would like to underscore our thanks for having you here and giving us the knowledge you have.
I come from a riding which is all-mixed rural and which has a very large aboriginal population, so I'm interested in going down that line. In one initiative in our community--I'm wondering if you've seen anything similar to this where 4-H has been involved--we have an educator by the name of Jean Emmott. Her husband, Bill, is chair of the milk marketing board in Ontario. She runs a program called “Bite on Brant”. She brings 800 students over the course of three days to the Burford Fairgrounds, where she has set up something that I would say is similar to a trade show: booths to show the students where their food comes from; how it's produced, to the point of having packaging there showing where all the ingredients in the pizza came from; and relating to the students this way.
It's been hugely successful over the years in educating urban children at a very young age. I'm wondering if 4-H has ever looked at that kind of model in terms of outreach education. Have you considered or done similar things?
