I think it's an important program. I look forward to the work that I know your department will be undertaking in the days ahead.

In my conversations with stakeholders—and I'm sure my colleagues would likely concur—it seems that more and more issues that are agriculture related are not necessarily directly in the bailiwick of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. One of the ones Mr. MacGregor was pointing to involved initiatives to try to incentivize GHG emission reductions in agriculture.

Can you give this committee some sense of the work you do with Environment and Climate Change Canada, particularly around offset protocols and some of the soil protocols that Climate Change Canada is looking at that could actually be of huge benefit for producers?
