Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Welcome to all the witnesses. Thank you for being here and for sharing with us the information about your members' priorities, which is, of course, very helpful to the government.
I was listening to hear if any of the priorities linked in to our previous discussions on carbon border adjustment and preparing to help defend Canada's agriculture sector in the context of that potential, which we know is not for sure, and we know the sector is not thrilled about the idea. However, preparing for that also means reducing greenhouse gas emissions out of Canada's agriculture sector.
In regard to the cattle industry, for example, I totally understand why livestock price insurance would be a top priority. I'd love to hear what the industry is doing to reduce methane release and the very potent greenhouse gas emission that it is. I'd also like to hear about the plant science innovations. I'm sure there are innovations to reduce climate gas production.
For the Fruit and Vegetable Growers of Canada, whether it's transportation or fertilization, could you give us some highlights as to how you're helping prepare to reduce the impact of potential carbon border adjustment?
