Thank you, Mr. Chair.
We've talked a bit about climate change this morning. The government is forcing a carbon tax regime on the country. Those of us who have followed this for a while know that these don't work.
Carbon exchanges have been a complete failure where they've been put in place, and carbon taxes don't work. They generate a lot of revenue for government, but they don't work unless the tax is so high that it punishes normal behaviour, such that people have to change their regular practices. Many people have used B.C. as an example of where a carbon tax has worked, and emissions are actually going up there.
Here's my question to the industry. If there's a tax that's high enough that you have to change regular practices, which is the point of the tax, how do you remain competitive if our competitors, primarily those south of the border, do not have that same tax to deal with? That's for canola, but particularly for the feeders.
