I had questions earlier of the Minister of Agriculture on the Auditor General's report, which was quite disappointing in that it said Agriculture Canada does not have a vision or plan. The minister reiterated a number of times that it's important that we have a plan for the environment and addressing emissions reductions, but the Auditor General's report was quite clear that there is no concrete strategy within Agriculture Canada for emissions reductions. When we are charging farmers exorbitant amounts of money on carbon taxes and we're not even talking about the GST charged on top of those carbon taxes, I think producers would say, “At least show me that my financial pain is having some sort of environmental gain.”
Clearly, the report says that Agriculture Canada is not measuring emissions reductions quantified by the carbon tax. Why is that the case and why are you not doing that?
