Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses who have joined us for this committee.
Through you, Mr. Chair, I'll direct my first questions to Mr. van Westendorp.
I read in an article that some beekeeping best practices include natural and non-toxic pest control methods that are critical for ensuring the health of bee colonies and promoting the sustainability of the industry. These best practices are to help protect the environment and promote biodiversity.
Do you agree with this, and do you have anything else you'd like to add?
