Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here.
Ms. Jackson, you said something that really stuck with me when you said government policies have “unintended consequences”. We just did a study on MP Lawrence's bill about exempting some fuels from the carbon tax.
Would you say that's one of the unintended consequences, a catch-all policy? There aren't, for example, alternatives to barn heating or irrigation pump running or grain dryers. Could you talk about some of that from a producer standpoint? Maybe Mr. Thompson could as well.
It's nice to have some more Saskatchewan common sense here at the committee. Perhaps you guys could just expand on some of those unintended consequences that government policies sometimes lead producers to have to undergo?
