Perhaps I could jump in here before I run out of time. On the topic of carbon pricing that you brought up, carbon pricing is a tool to motivate producers to reduce their greenhouse gas footprint. One of the most energy-intensive inputs in agriculture is nitrogen-based fertilizers. They contribute 70% of Canada's nitrous oxide emissions, which is the worst of all greenhouse gases.
Being a very energy-intensive input to produce, the implications are that carbon pricing should increase the cost of these nitrogen fertilizers, which makes it more difficult for farmers and their profitability and increases their cost of production. However, there needs to be sufficient time for industries to adjust to these pricing changes. We know in organic agriculture we don't use these nitrogen-based fertilizers. We use green manures. We use crop rotations. We use a number of organic management practices to build fertility in our soils, so we have practices and techniques that are available for these farmers that they can adopt. However, you need time and support for farmers to adjust to these changes, so that comes down to research and extension.
On the topic of extending consultations, I think we always need more time to review and do the research that's necessary so that industry's voice is accurately reflected in the policies that are developed.
I'll just leave it at that.
