Mr. Saik, thank you for being here today.
Unfortunately, I can't think of any Canadian government that has vilified our farmers and agricultural industry more than the current government. The attack on agriculture in the name of climate change has become so senseless that we are now seeing countries like New Zealand planning to tax burps from cows.
Farmers are some of the most environmentally responsible people in our country. They use clean technology every day. No one in this government gives them credit for that.
Mr. Saik, if farmers increase their crop yields, they can sequester more carbon and, therefore, offset more greenhouse gas emissions. Would you agree?
