As you say, the important part is recognizing what farmers are already doing. They are great stewards of the land.
We did a report back in February and sent it to the minister about not only the impact but what farmers are doing already and how government could encourage them to do more.
I do think when we're on a competitive world stage and our competitors are not looking at these types of increases, it does make us less competitive. When you look at the thousands of dollars, on average $14,000 that farmers paid in carbon tax in the last year, certainly there are better ways to take care of the environment than a tax that's going to continue to increase every year.
