Mr. Speaker, Canadians are increasingly frustrated as they watch Liberal-appointed senators stall and delay our common-sense Conservative bill that would carve out a much needed carbon tax exemption for our Canadian farmers. Farm businesses are seeing their carbon taxes totalling over $100,000 per year just to use propane and natural gas to dry their crops. The worst part is that the worst is yet to come, because the NDP-Liberal coalition will quadruple the carbon tax. That is enough with the delay and games. Canadian farmers are facing a $1 billion carbon tax bill from the Prime Minister that no one can afford. Food banks are at record use, with two million people per month. After eight years, Canadians know the Prime Minister is just not worth the cost, because as farmers feed cities, Canadians know the Prime Minister just wants to tax them all even more.
