Great. Thanks.

I know we are talking about Bill C-206, but, Mr. Ammeter, would you welcome partnerships with investments from the government to say, “Okay, let's look at the pain points where the carbon tax is costing you”?

Obviously, what we're trying to do is not necessarily to penalize you. We're just trying to decarbonize the economy.

Would you welcome some investments in partnerships in order to find some new technologies to try to decarbonize the agricultural sector?
