So I guess I want to talk a little bit more about the Quebec specific because we did talk about agri-food and maybe someone who's like in BC is not really familiar with What does agri-food look like in Quebec? Is it primarily like, are you focusing on aquatics? Are you focusing on farmland? Are you focusing on manufacturing? Maybe we could talk a little bit more about just like painting a picture about what agri-food looks like, at least in the Quebec side.

Cate LaskeyGUEST
So it's definitely a great question and probably the first question on everyone's minds when you're first forming one of these chapters.

Cate LaskeyGUEST
We pretty much I suppose like the process we went through is, you know, We engage in consultations with community members to sort of identify areas like priority areas and areas of concern.

Cate LaskeyGUEST
That way we can develop actual objectives and goals and sort of focuses aimed at these exact concerns grounded in actual reality.

Cate LaskeyGUEST
Um, we pretty much-- I, I suppose, like, the process we went through, um, is, you know, we engage in consultations with community members to sort of identify areas, like priority areas and areas con- of concern, and as you said, just kind of understand the Quebec context better.

Cate LaskeyGUEST
That way we can develop actual objectives and goals and sort of focuses aimed at these exact concerns grounded in, like, actual reality.

Cate LaskeyGUEST
So I think to answer your question, we sort of approach it more systematically, um, like look at the whole agri-food system as a whole, as opposed to looking at, you know, different sectors individually, and that's, of course, goes back to what Laia mentioned about breaking those silos of action between different, um, different systems, I suppose.

When has youth involvement actually helped change something in a positive manner to show that their voices were represented, uh, and it also has benefited their community? So maybe you could just provide a example just to give us some context.
