Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I will carry on with my questions.

Mr. Boxall, the Canada food price index report came out at Christmas, and it said as the carbon tax continues to go up and is tripled, an average Canadian farm of 5,000 acres will pay about $150,000 in carbon tax alone.

What kind of impact will that have on the sustainability of Canadian agriculture?
