Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to welcome the witnesses and thank them for being with us today to give us their precious testimony.
Mr. Thompson, I'd like to let you continue. You say that people who already have good practices in place should be included and not discouraged. Are you thinking of a measurement system that would allow us to assess the current state of farms? You say there are techniques you don't have yet to measure carbon, but according to some of the witnesses we've heard from, the technologies are evolving rapidly, so something could be put in place in the near future.
If we devised a way of measuring the current state of each piece of land, take into account the starting point of each one and encourage those who are already doing well, would that answer your question?
