Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and thank you to all of our witnesses.
Mr. Carey and Mr. Ross, I think I'll start with you.
We, of course, are talking a lot about Bill C-234, but I also want to look at the parent statute, the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act that it is seeking to amend. I was present in the 42nd Parliament when that statute became law. It was part of a budget implementation act.
When the Liberal government drafted that bill, they took the time to include definitions of qualifying farm fuel, of eligible farming activities and of eligible farming machinery. Why do you think they took the time to include those provisions in the parent statute?
