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.

Madam Speaker, there are a lot of great farmers in Chatham-Kent—Leamington. It is shameful that the Conservative leader, who has never seen the top of a combine or a hay baler, hides behind farmers and workers to justify his opposition to our plan on tax fairness. We are increasing the capital gains sheltering for farmers— Some hon. members: Oh, oh!

Mr. Speaker, the Leader of the Opposition has not seen a hay baler or the top of a combine in his life. What we have done over here is made things better for farmers by increasing the lifetime exemption and extending new provisions to farmers to ensure that capital gains do not affect them. Farmers will, in fact, be better off under this plan for tax fairness, just like waitresses, just like airline stewardesses, just like janitors, just like electricians, just like plumbers and just like 99.87% of Canadians.
