Agriculture committee  I can start here, Dave, and if you like, you can build on it. In answer to your question, the starting point for us is about accessibility of viable alternatives. In the absence of having somewhere to direct how you are approaching fuel emissions reduction, if there isn't a technology available to your farm, it speaks to the lack of efficacy of Bill C-8 and its ability to reduce emissions.

Agriculture committee  Thank you, Dave. ACA also works proactively on behalf of Canadian agriculture to advocate for constructive and evidence-based environmental policies. To date, we have focused on three major priority areas. Carbon offset protocols open to science-based measurement should incorporate flexibility to recognize incremental improvements in on-farm practices that have already taken place and will take place, while accommodating advancements in verification that would allow for more outcome-based measurements.
