Mr. Speaker, John Diefenbaker is from Saskatchewan, where there are lots of farmers. The member will not commit to amend her law to exempt carpenters or plumbers or retiring modest-income independent restaurant owners, so I have a very simple question. Given we are in a food price crisis, will the finance minister amend her proposal to say that no farmer will pay higher taxes under this plan?

Mr. Speaker, if that were true, then the Liberals would be prepared to put in writing, in the law, that no farmer, fisher or electrician will pay any new tax under this increase. Will they?
