Thank you for that, Mr. Rosser.
When the minister was making his opening statement, he made mention of the high input costs that many farmers are going through. I'm wondering if you can inform the committee of how the department actively tracks that. Is it more at a macro level? Can you help illuminate how you're tracking those higher input costs?
A big topic of conversation around here is the carbon tax, but we know that the costs of the inputs themselves have gone up irrespective of any taxes on them. Particularly in oil and gas, I think we have seen some stats showing a 1,000% increase in the net profits of oil and gas companies. That has coincided with farmers seeing massive increases in their fuel costs. I'm just wondering how you keep track of all that.
