Madam Speaker, agriculture and rural communities are vital in my home province of Manitoba. We recognize we are in a transition period, and that is why we introduced Bill C-8 to put more money in farmers' pockets. Bill C-8, currently before this House, contains a measure to return part of the proceeds of the price of pollution directly to farmers. Unfortunately, the Conservative Party has tried to remove this measure and has delayed progress on this important legislation.

Madam Speaker, I am a proud Manitoban from western Canada. The Parliamentary Budget Officer confirmed that the majority of households will receive more in climate action rebates than they pay. That is eight out of 10 families. I will repeat those numbers, which are valid from coast to coast to coast. This year a family of four will receive $1,100 in Saskatchewan and Alberta and $830 in my home province of Manitoba. Those rebate cheques will start to arrive on July 15 and they will arrive each and every month.
