My job requires me to divide the time equally among all committee colleagues.
With that, I'll turn it over to myself, actually. We have six minutes on the Liberal side. I'm going to split it with Mr. MacDonald, so let me start my clock to be fair to all colleagues and make sure I'm not stretching it too far.
Ms. Beck, I want to start with you. It's a bit of a follow-up to the question Mr. MacDonald had.
I had the privilege of having New Zealand's special agricultural trade envoy, a farmer himself, in Parliament yesterday. One of the conversations we had.... Of course, we saw that the Jacinda Ardern government ran into challenges around some of the environmental policies and how they reconcile with farmers.... I think that's part of the challenge that we're facing. As the minister highlighted, a lot of work has to be done. Farmers are at the front line of that. They're doing really good work.
For trading commodities around the world, there's also a bit of a moment of reflection about how we reconcile asking domestic industries to be part of the solution while having that accounted for in the trading system so that countries choosing not to ask their domestic industry to be part of this global fight on climate change are not rewarded.
Can you enlighten this committee on some of the conversations you have? For example, some of the members of this committee were with Under-Secretary Bonnie from the United States, who said that the U.S. is grappling with this issue as well. Is there anything you might be able to share with this committee about how we balance environmental progress and how that might involve a trading system globally? We hear Europe talking about CBAM, although not for agriculture yet, and I think that's a preoccupation of this committee. Just share anything along those lines.
