Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank our witnesses for being here.
I have two questions.
Mr. Kristensen, I would like to congratulate your industry for greatly improving how it does things in recent years. The efforts of Canadian producers to take care of their land, their environment and the resources available to them often don't get enough recognition. Your experience or your example of recent years is very interesting to see.
If I understand correctly, you want to go even further and, for you, this means allocating more funds from the government to your research agency. If we left more money to producers by not imposing a carbon tax on them, do you think your industry would be able to go further?
