Environment committee  I didn't say it was a point of order, Mr. Chair.

Environment committee  It's an easy question. You acknowledged me. You've given me the floor to ask you that question. Are you saying you don't know, Mr. Chair, or are you saying you won't answer the question?

Environment committee  The committee chair said that they were going to invite her. There was a subsequent motion that wasn't supported by Liberal members to meet at any time or any place. Before that, there was a motion that the committee invite the minister and that happened. The minister was invited

Environment committee  Thank you.

Environment committee  Mr. Innes, our time was cut short. I have a question on the research and cutting-edge science that goes from the lab to the farmer. Would you suggest that Canada is the world leader, or one of the world leaders, in farming and canola?

Environment committee  You said that 70% of global canola comes from Canada and 90% of what we produce is export. There are other countries that could grow canola using our technology, but right now we're a world leader and a world producer. Is that correct?

Environment committee  You're talking about other countries, or companies relocating to a country where they do not have the cost.... Mr. White highlighted that the carbon tax is a concern. It is a stick, so to speak, instead of a carrot. I'm from British Columbia. We have a carbon tax. It's going up

Environment committee  I know the answer. I was just wondering. Most people don't know. It's 112%, and on April 1, it will go to a little over 155%. It's a horrendous tax, one of the highest in the world, yet we're one of the cleanest in the world. That doesn't seem to make sense. I think policies an

Environment committee  That's an excellent suggestion. Mr. Godin.

Environment committee  You've had dramatic increases. I was talking to the airline industry two weeks ago. They said that they are at a 50% reduction, I think, compared to 2005. Their argument is why are they paying the carbon tax when they've already reached that target and then some. They would lik

Environment committee  I have how long, Chair?

Environment committee  I'm sorry that the government is hitting you with the stick when you've already achieved the goal. Mr. Innes, you've said that you don't want to move elsewhere. Industry is moving elsewhere. What would be the cause for farmers to be considering moving out of Canada?

Environment committee  Thank you. I appreciate the witnesses being here. Mr. Bonnett, you touched briefly on preserving farmland, wetlands and forest stands. There would be some type of incentive per acre, annual payments from a governing body to encourage that. When the land is left and there are

Environment committee  Yes. Mr. White, you touched on how dramatically we have improved farming, particularly canola farming. You said that no-till was used for 7% of western Canada's farmland in 1991, and that has increased to 65% as of 2016. You now sequester 11 million tonnes of greenhouse gases.

Environment committee  Yes. Page 870 of Bosc and Gagnon states: Supplementary estimates are deemed referred to the appropriate standing committees immediately after their tabling in the House. The supplementary estimates must be reported back, or are deemed to have been reported back, not later than
