Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses for being here today.
We've heard throughout this study about carbon border adjustments—that they don't work, they hurt farmers, and if something hurts farmers it's going to hurt consumers. At the end of the day, as a farmer, I know what my costs are, and I know that I have to pass those costs on to the wholesalers.
Dr. Charlebois, you talked about the difference in prices between the U.S. and Canada. I'm curious, in your opinion, if the carbon tax is one of the factors and the differences between the inflation in the U.S. and Canadian food prices.
