House Hansard - 262

44th Parl. 1st Sess.

Context: House Hansard - 262 - Dec/5/23
Mr. Jeremy Patzer (Cypress Hills—Grasslands, CPC)
Mr. Speaker, farmers know they are the leaders when it comes to environmental stewardship. Just imagine we are young producers. We have grown up on the family farm and our goal is to take over after our parents retire. We start looking over the bills and costs associated with farming and one of the highest line items is the carbon tax imposed by the Prime Minister. Rather than hiring a helping hand or upgrading our machinery, we are paying an increasing carbon tax. Therefore, why will the Prime Minister not let his senators pass Bill C-234 and axe the tax for on-farm fuels?
