Mr. Jovanovic, I'd like to continue with you.
In your last exchange with Mr. Turnbull, he was saying that if Bill C-234 were to receive royal assent, we could be removing an incentive for farmers to try to transition to different technology. If we take that same logic and apply it to the exemptions that exist in the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act, does that mean then, rhetorically, that the government gave up on incentivizing a change in technology when it passed Bill C-74?
The government at the time I think recognized that there were no commercially viable alternatives. That is why they specifically spelled out what eligible farming activity is, eligible farming machinery, what a qualifying farm fuel is. They listed them. There's a farm truck or a tractor—the farming machinery on a farm for the purposes of farming. There's a recognition of that.
My question for you, though, is this. We have those exemptions that already exist, but are there not other financial tools and other ways that the government has at its disposal to incentivize changes in behaviour while recognizing that there are no commercially viable alternatives?
