Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Minister, I would like to congratulate you on the year I have been working with you. You care a great deal about agriculture, which is facing some major challenges.

I would like to talk about the possibility of using biodiesel in agriculture. Will the biodiesel plan that has been submitted to the Department of Agriculture and Agri-food have a positive impact on the climate and on rural Canada?
