Sure. I would note that the committee could reference the recent discussion paper from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada on its emission reduction plan for fertilizer. I think in the plan you'll note that there are 26 different references to 4R nutrient stewardship, and so we greatly appreciate the confidence that the Department of Agriculture has placed in that program, and we're anticipating a spirit of co-operation with the department. That will be very important.
Under 4R nutrient stewardship, farmers are encouraged to use the right source of fertilizer at the right rate, the right time, the right place. When they are doing this with the reduction of nitrous oxide in mind, we've seen scientific data show a 15% to 25% reduction in N2O emissions per unit of crop produced. I think with some of the enhanced efficiency products, that could even be higher than that.
Also, we are always looking to help growers get the maximum value they can from every dollar they spend on fertilizer, and that's a key component of the 4R nutrient stewardship program.
