Context: House Hansard - 259 - Nov/30/23
Mr. Richard Bragdon (Tobique—Mactaquac, CPC)
Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Liberals voted with the Bloc to keep the tax on farmers. This bill would have saved farmers nearly $1 billion between now and 2030. This Christmas season, people are hurting. P.E.I. farmers are paying between $30,000 and $75,000 more a year due to the carbon tax. A farmer in western New Brunswick has had his cost increase by over 30% on freight alone. This is unbearable for our producers and consumers. When will the Prime Minister finally hear the cries of our farmers and tell his senators to pass Bill C-234?
