I appreciate that.

Obviously, the government's stated objective is a 30% reduction in emissions from fertilizer, but it's also going to have a major impact on yields, as noted in the Meyers Norris Penny report, costing about $10.4 billion per year by 2030 if that target is hit.

I'm just curious. From your assessment, is the government needing to take into consideration the economic impact of this objective of a 30% reduction?
