Madam Speaker, it is shameful. The leader of the Conservative Party has never been seen on a hay baler. He is opposing our program to give tax fairness to farmers. We are increasing the capital gains sheltering for farmers by boosting the lifetime exception for qualified farming properties to $1.25 million per owner. The member over there should be standing up and celebrating tax fairness for farmers.

Mr. Speaker, the Conservative leader does not stand with workers, and he certainly does not stand with Canada's farmers. It is shameful that the leader of the Conservatives hides behind farmers and workers to justify his opposition to our plan for tax fairness. We are in fact increasing the capital gains sheltering for farmers by boosting the lifetime exemption for qualified farming properties to $1.25 million per owner, and when combined with the $250,000 threshold, farmers are going to be better off. We are standing up, on this side of the House, for Canada's agriculture. The Conservatives are standing up for the 0.13%.
