Good morning. Thank you all for coming here today and providing us with your presentation.
I am aware that it is absolutely essential that we be made aware of the use of new fuels. My question is for Mr. Friesen and Mr. Sigurdson.
We have heard conflicting testimony about the transition to biofuels. People on either side of the issue refer to studies that support their arguments. We have to assess the real impact on the rural regions. We support the bill in principle, because we are indeed trying to reduce our dependency on oil, but it will be crucial that our farmers be able to survive this transition. I would like to hear your opinion on the real impact that these changes will have on the rural regions.
