Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
There is no doubt that we are facing a climate crisis, which is bringing on a global food crisis. We are on the cusp of this crisis, and agriculture has never been more important. We need to take both action on climate change and action to prevent it and support our farmers. Those two things go together—one does not go without the other—and that is something our farmers and agricultural producers understand very well.
I know we have talked about this before, Mr. Caron, but the OECD report that talks about reforming agricultural policies to mitigate climate change proposes, among other things, increasing direct payments to farmers who provide ecological goods and services, such as ecosystem services or carbon sequestration in agricultural soils.
Do you think that is a good recommendation?
