Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to the officials for being here.
I appreciate the comments by Ms. Kim and Mr. Jovanovic about the importance of the fact that farmers have the tools to increase yield and feed the world, but it's difficult for farms to invest in new technology and new innovation if they aren't economically sustainable. Burdening them with new taxes makes it difficult for them to do those things, when of course they want to do everything they possibly can to improve efficiency and protect their environment.
My first question would be for Mr. Jovanovic.
The message we get from the government is that the carbon tax is revenue neutral. Is the carbon rebate revenue in Bill C-8 neutral for farmers? Do they get everything they've put into the carbon tax returned to them through the rebate in Bill C-8?
