Mr. Chair, thank you.
Chris, you talked earlier about the importance of economic return and profitability. One thing we've heard from past witnesses is the whole concept of externalities, that the industry is very efficient, yet society as a whole, government, is subsidizing that efficiency through the environment, animal welfare issues, and health.
What factors do you think we should be looking at to deal with the whole issue of an agriculture industry that's efficient, yet a society overall that's perhaps dealing with the externalities of that efficiency?
