Thank you.
You are so right. Our farmers are at the forefront. They are the first ones to be impacted by climate change. They are really committed to doing even better. We recognize that it has always been the priority for them to protect the environment. Actually, I was glad to see, in the last Statistics Canada survey, that two-thirds of our farmers have already started to adopt more sustainable practices.
We got more budget to expand our on-farm climate action plan, which is the one that provides direct financial incentives to farms that will adopt good practices, such as cover cropping, rotational grazing or better management of the fertilizer. We have also tripled the clean technology program, which was extremely well received for the first round. We can see that producers are eager to afford and to buy these new technologies. We are also investing in research and innovation to accelerate the development and commercialization of these technologies.
You've probably seen another program that will be coming, hopefully in collaboration with the provinces through the partnership agreement, which is the sustainable landscape program, a new program to increase the sequestration of carbon. We are really committed to supporting our farmers in adopting better practices and having access to new technologies that are energy-efficient.
