Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much to the witnesses for this testimony today. It's been very interesting to me. I have to admit that I'm not a regular member of this committee, and this is all very new to me, so forgive me if my questions are a little simple, I guess.
My first question is for Dr. Bedard-Haughn. I was surprised to hear that there hasn't been sufficient research done. We know trade and trade relationships are complex—they are in many different settings, but your testimony was a lot about how there wasn't enough research. We didn't have the information. We didn't have the data to make informed decisions.
Why don't we have that data yet? Why has this taken so long? Obviously, carbon pricing has been in place for a long time. Are there adequate resources for researchers in Canada from the federal and provincial governments to accomplish this?
