I'll move to something that we can speak to more.
I want to briefly mention equivalency, because when the premiers met in Vancouver with the Prime Minister to talk about a Pan-Canadian agreement in this area, there were some reservations. For example, the former premier, Christy Clark, had mentioned the issue of equivalency and that the carbon tax in British Columbia was much different from the cap-and-trade system was rolled out by both Ontario and Quebec, where some emitters could be exempted completely. That's not how it works.
In fact, Mr. Chair, you'd be surprised that the province of British Columbia does include farmers, and there's no exemption for them. While this federal backstop doesn't include farmers, I hope that earns your condemnation of British Columbians.
