Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister MacAulay, for being here this morning. It's always a pleasure to see you. I'm sure that in 35 years of service you've gone through many of these.
I was just reflecting, as I was hearing some of the questions, that one member is saying we're not ambitious enough and need to do more to change, while another member is saying we can't change, because this will cripple our industry. However, change is happening. To some extent, it's being forced upon us. Fighting pollution and greenhouse gases is so important to the future of our country and the industry. I know we've faced tough times with recent natural disasters, from wildfires to floods. We all know climate change plays a part in making these events more severe.
Therefore, I was wondering, Minister MacAulay, if you can tell us how the government has been supporting farmers in the face of natural disasters and climate change.
