"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6659227\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Thank you, and thanks to all of the witnesses for your excellent testimony. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6659228\" data-originallang=\"en\">I'd like to begin by taking this back and trying to place this whole issue into some sort of context from an economic perspective.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6659229\" data-originallang=\"en\">A number of you indicated that as grain producers, you are price takers and that we generally operate in an integrated market. When this issue first came out, the federal estimates were between $210 and $819 per farm. We later learned that was based on the denominator's being all census farms, as opposed to commercial farms, and then we heard estimates more in the $10,000 to $14,000 range coming from the Federation of Independent Business. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6659230\" data-originallang=\"en\">I'm going to begin directing my comments to the Grain Growers. Can you talk about the discrepancy between these estimates? In the absence of the passage of this bill, would you expect the Canadian basis, which is a function of pricing in our integrated market, to compensate producers for this additional cost as they incur the carbon tax?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6659231\" data-originallang=\"en\">I'll start with the grain producers, please.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6659227\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, et je remercie tous les t\u00e9moins pour leurs excellents t\u00e9moignages.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6659228\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'aimerais prendre un peu de recul et mettre en contexte toute cette question d'un point de vue \u00e9conomique.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6659229\" data-originallang=\"en\">Un certain nombre d'entre vous ont soulign\u00e9 qu'en tant que producteurs de grains, vous \u00eates des preneurs de prix et vous \u0153uvrez g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement dans un march\u00e9 int\u00e9gr\u00e9. Lorsque cette mesure a \u00e9t\u00e9 annonc\u00e9e, le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral estimait que les co\u00fbts se situeraient entre 210 et 819 $ par exploitation agricole. Ult\u00e9rieurement, nous avons appris que les calculs \u00e9taient fond\u00e9s uniquement sur les fermes de recensement, et non sur les exploitations agricoles commerciales. Nous avons alors entendu des estimations s'\u00e9tablissant davantage entre 10 000 et 14 000 $, estimations \u00e9tablies par la F\u00e9d\u00e9ration canadienne de l'entreprise ind\u00e9pendante.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6659230\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je vais d'abord m'adresser aux producteurs de grains. Pouvez-vous nous parler de l'\u00e9cart entre ces estimations? Si ce projet de loi n'est pas adopt\u00e9, vous attendez-vous \u00e0 ce que les valeurs de base canadiennes, qui d\u00e9terminent les prix dans notre march\u00e9 int\u00e9gr\u00e9, d\u00e9dommagent les producteurs pour ce co\u00fbt suppl\u00e9mentaire occasionn\u00e9 par la taxe sur le carbone?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6659231\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ma question s'adresse d'abord aux producteurs de grains. Merci.</p>"
