I wanted to say first that the price on pollution is a very important tool for us as a country to meet our goals and to do our fair share to protect our environment and fight against climate change.
When we did all the calculations with the data provided by the industry and the provinces, it was strictly based on the price on pollution applied to grain drying. We have announced a significant increase on the price on pollution, and we also acknowledge that all the technology for our farmers to get better equipped in terms of energy-efficient equipment is not necessarily already available.
This is why we have committed to new rebates for on-farm fuel use. Also, from the $165-million agricultural clean technology fund, we will make grain drying and barn heating priorities in terms of research, innovation and support to farmers, for them to be able to afford these new, energy-efficient technologies.
