Thank you.
I want to sincerely thank both witnesses for being here with us today.
The more witnesses we hear tell us about climate change, about the quality of soil and water, the more we realize that there are as many problems as there are solutions. You both work on some very specific elements.
I'll begin with you, Mr. Sauchyn. You said that according to your analyses, people expect farmers and producers to absorb the majority of costs due to climate change.
Do you have any specific examples that show that things have been different over the past few years, as compared to normal adaptation? In other words, what are the additional costs? Farmers have always had to adapt to all sorts of things. How has this been accelerated, in your opinion, Mr. Sauchyn?
