Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank both of our witnesses for being here today. I think it is important to talk about forests and agriculture.
Mr. McCabe, in Quebec, agriculture is responsible for 9% of greenhouse gas emissions, and I would imagine that the figure is probably similar for Ontario. So, greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture make up a pretty big chunk. If you had the support you wanted.... I think we all agree that such support would create new jobs. If you had more digesters and could better manage manure and biomass, which produce greenhouse gases on farmland, you could do it.
With the proper support, could you achieve the objectives set out in Bill C-311, which is currently on the table? Under that bill, emission reductions would have to hit 25% in 2020 and 80% in 2050, using 1990 as the base year.
