Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I will go directly to Mr. Currie and Mr. Ross.
The OECD report “Reforming Agricultural Policies for Climate Change Mitigation” has a series of recommendations about how we should invest more in helping farmers transition towards more sustainable agriculture. They talk about having more direct support for farmers to invest in innovative technology and new fertilizers, and address issues such as climate mitigation. We know water is going to be an issue for agriculture—for vegetables and grains, but also for cattle if they don't have enough water and are experiencing intense heat waves.
Can you talk more precisely about how the new partnership is a move forward in that direction—because we have programs that will provide direct support—and what more we can do within that frame?
