Thank you, Ms. Rood.

My question is for Ms. Ward. Thank you for your actions in fighting climate change.

Although I too was pleased to see that the government at least acknowledged that this is an issue for farmers, it may in fact take them years, especially in a minority Parliament. It might be three or four years.

Could you not see putting this solution in place, Bill C-206, to help farmers in the interim, as some are paying thousands and thousands of dollars, even if you do believe in the government solution?
