House Hansard - 279

44th Parl. 1st Sess.
February 9, 2024 10:00AM
Context: House Hansard - 279 - Feb/9/24
Mr. Dane Lloyd (Sturgeon River—Parkland, CPC)
Madam Speaker, after eight years of the NDP-Liberal government, farmers across the country are struggling under the punishing carbon tax. Melissa, a farmer in my area, paid over $6,000 in carbon taxes just to dry her grain last year, and now the Prime Minister wants to quadruple the tax in just a few years. He is not worth the cost. When will the Liberal government get out of the way and pass Bill C-234 in its original form, get off farmers' backs and make our food affordable again?

Mr. Dane Lloyd (Sturgeon River—Parkland, CPC)
Mr. Speaker, that is rich coming from the government that relentlessly lobbied senators to block Bill C-234. Bill C-234 would remove the carbon taxes from the farmers who grow our food. We know inflation is hitting Canadians hard; whether it is housing, the cost of fuel or food, everything is getting more expensive under the NDP-Liberal government. After eight years, Canadians know that the Prime Minister is not worth the cost. The only way Canadians will get the tax relief they deserve is by electing a common-sense Conservative government. When will the Liberals call the election so we can axe the tax?
