I thank Mr. Price for his opening statement. I will now invite members to indicate their wish to ask questions. I will kick off with my questions. We had witnesses before us in the previous sessions. I do not know if Mr. Price watched those. The first witness spoke to the importance of metrics at the farm level to encourage farmers to drive efficiency and, ultimately, emissions reduction on their farms. He felt that was being missed in the current policy approach. Mr. Price might comment on that. The second witness spoke about a 54% reduction in methane through manure management, as opposed to the enteric methane, I think it was. I want to find where the balance is between in manure management and just how effective that kind of approach would be at reducing methane emissions on farms? Am I correct in using the word “enteric”?
