Thank you, Madam Minister. I've talked to a lot of producers in Saskatchewan who might have a different opinion.
I'm not making these numbers up. They're from Fertilizer Canada's press release. They said, “Cutting fertilizer use to reduce on-farm emissions could cost growers nearly $48 billion over the next eight years”. That was a study done by Meyers Norris Penny. That's $48 billion that this fertilizer reduction target could cost the economy.
If you were the Prime Minister, and a minister in charge of a portfolio cost the economy $48 billion, what would you do with that minister?
