Mr. Speaker, farmers feed Canadians and the world, but in Lakeland three straight years of ag disasters have hurt crops and forced farmers to sell livestock early. It is not over yet and the damage will happen for years. The NDP-Liberal plan to cut fertilizer use will slash yields even more. It risks Canada’s food supply and security. Farmers pay a quarter of their bills in carbon tax. Fertilizer and fuel costs have doubled. Liberal inflation makes everything more expensive. Why are the NDP-Liberals making it so that farmers cannot feed their fellow Canadians or their cattle?

Mr. Speaker, speaking of fertilizer use, last year I asked for the evidence and about the impact on production. It turned out the government's own departments have not even done the research. They just speculated on the potential for optimizing fertilizer use. Fertilizer Canada has the brutal facts. There would be $10.4 billion in losses in canola, corn and spring wheat alone, and farmers are hit with an ever-rising carbon tax. From this farmer to that minister, why is the minister stopping crop growth and hurting Canadians who put food on all of our tables?
