Mr. Speaker, what a good, common-sense question. If one does not tax something, one does not need to give it back. What a way to look at the world. The fact is that the rebate does not take into account that, just as those farmers have the costs passed on to them, every consumer has the costs passed on to them. Not only is the rebate falling short of what is spent directly in carbon taxes, but the indirect costs are also far higher.
