I appreciate the opportunity to comment on this, because I think the last time I was in front of the committee, some of the members took some creative licence with some of the things I said about data and the carbon tax.
The basic premise of a carbon tax is to make things more expensive. If the carbon tax hasn't made food more expensive, it's because it's failed its policy objectives. I think you have to call a spade a spade when it comes to what the premise of that objective is.
I think the reality is that it's not having an impact. There are much better solutions. If we really do care about emissions in agriculture, there are better approaches that will have a better impact at the end of the day.
