Mr. Speaker, that is a very important question. Of course we want to continue supporting our farmers. The Indo-Pacific strategy is a $2.3–billion investment, and part of that investment includes a new agriculture office that has now been opened in Manila, Philippines, to give farmers access to new and growing markets around the world. The Canada brand is very strong around the world, and farmers are now shipping to new markets around the world because of our government's policies and our Indo-Pacific strategy. Coming back to the Canada carbon rebate, I know that families in Brampton and across Ontario really appreciate the $1,120 they are receiving per year to support them in the cost of living.

Mr. Speaker, if someone is a small business owner and has even one dollar of investment gain, they pay the higher tax that the Prime Minister is promising, because there is no exemption inside the 300,000 small businesses. It is incredible that during a housing shortage, he wants to tax home builders. During a health care shortage, he wants to tax away our doctors. During a food crisis, he wants to tax our farmers, and while our economy is shrinking more than any other economy in the G7, he wants to tax our small business job creator. Is this not the definition of insanity?
