I will speak in French.
Thank you for your testimony. Dr. Klein and Mr. Toews, you talked about the consequences of expansion of the biodiesel, biofuel and ethanol market in Canada and the domino effect this would have.
Let's assume that Canada decides to do nothing and not worry about setting up programs to have more renewable energy than today. Obviously our neighbour to the south, the United States, is moving full steam ahead on this and in any event it is right next door to us. Do you think that the consequences on rising grain prices for our livestock producers would be just as problematic?
We can decide to do nothing and say to ourselves that in any case we are stuck with it. We can also try to reduce our own dependence on oil, but maybe by adopting strategies and approaches that we could use at least to mitigate those harmful consequences.
Do you have any ideas or opinions about what I have said?
