Thank you very much.

I'm a bit of a numbers guy. We hear different implications about the cost of Bill C-206. You've estimated $14,000 per average farm, but that's carbon tax across the board. We heard AAFC say $290 to $810, and that is specifically for grain drying. However, the denominators that they used were all farmers—all census farmers—as opposed to grain farmers.

Do you have any more data on the actual cost for the average grain operation, the carbon tax for grain drying on the average farm?
