Thank you very much, Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses for contributing to our study on how COVID-19 has impacted agriculture and agri-food. We really appreciate your time today.
I'll start with the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. I note the section you gave in your presentation regarding the carbon tax. This has certainly been a topic that has occupied the committee's attention for a couple of years. However, I'm interested in getting beyond the carbon tax conversation. I'd like to hear some of your feedback. Have any of your members, especially in agriculture and agri-food, given you any feedback in particular about some of the innovative things that farmers are doing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from their work?
As we move into the recovery phase, maybe you can illustrate some of them, and ways in which the federal government can encourage those new innovations without getting bogged down in the conversation we're having about the carbon tax.
