Certainly. Thank you very much for the question, Mr. Epp.
With response to the first part of your question in terms of whether or not we feel we've been heard, I think that grain growers across the country wanted to be seen as active participants in this important discussion. That's why we made the announcement we did on March 28 of the road to 2050. That's our way of saying that we can be a solutions provider and want to work closely with our government partners to ensure that the policies and programs that are developed in this space reflect the best interests of Canadian grain farmers.
At the same time, we want to ensure that they're practical and can be applied, because to Ms. Miller's point, some of those practices or the programs that are currently being funded don't necessarily make sense on farms across the country. This is our way of saying that we're going to have some solid recommendations with respect to what you can expect from Canadian grain farmers, and we want to be a part of those discussions.
I think with respect to the second part of your question on cross-compliance, we think it's really important that, while we're having this conversation about what more Canadian farmers can and are willing to do in this space with respect to their environmental contributions—that's critical—we don't want to see that become criteria for or a barrier to entry with respect to the risk management programs that are so fundamentally critical to Canadian farmers across the country, especially at a time when they're facing unprecedented risks.
