Thank you so much, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Ward, in my two and a half minutes I'm going to ask you two questions and then give you the remainder of the time to answer.
First of all, in the existing act, we already have gasoline and diesel fuel that are exempt. They are “qualifying farming fuels”. Do you have any thoughts on those two fuels because, of course, they are used quite a bit in farming activities and it seems to me that Bill C-206 is just following that precedent and then allowing natural gas and propane.
Second of all, if you can also.... I think it's important. We keep on talking about the cost of the carbon tax, and I think you just briefly answered this, but can you also just illustrate what the costs are if we don't address climate change, because I have heard at this committee in the three years that I've been sitting at it that farmers are on the front lines of climate change. Can you just give us a sense of what the economic costs of doing nothing in tackling climate change are going to be for farmers?
