Re: Bill C-21

Mr. Speaker, after eight years of Liberal incompetence, the government is targeting honest citizens, particularly hunters and farmers, in its fight against violent crime. These crimes are committed using illegal weapons acquired through smuggling networks run by organized crime. The Liberal government will not solve this important safety issue for Canadian citizens by going after honest citizens. When will the government stop targeting the tools used by honest, law-abiding hunters and farmers?

Mr. Speaker, I listened to the speech by my colleague, which contained a lot of dreams and assumptions, but I would like to talk about something tangible. In 2030, the carbon tax will represent $30 an acre in Canada. Over 400 million acres, that means Canadian farmers will have to pay $12 billion a year. According to my colleague, what part of that $12 billion could go back to the farmers, if they even get one cent?

Mr. Speaker, I would like to reassure my colleague, who is also my office neighbour, about three things. First of all, there will be no visits from our Saudi Arabian friends this holiday season in my riding because we have Valero Energy, the largest refinery in Quebec, which sources its crude oil from Canada and the United States. Second, in his speech, my hon. colleague talked about the fact that, with the bill, farmers would get GST refunds. The GST is already refunded. It is an input. The GST and QST have been refunded for the past 30 years. Here is my final point. I wonder if my colleague has ever seen a propane bill from one of the farmers in his riding that shows the carbon tax rate, which is increasing in line with the Liberal formula. Has my colleague ever personally seen a real-life propane bill for drying grain in Quebec that includes the carbon tax rate?

Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay tribute to an extraordinary man who left us far too soon, Réal Gagné. Réal was a proud farmer all his life, a loving husband to his wife Thérèse, an attentive father of five daughters, Stéphanie, Marilyne, Joannie, Danielle and Mélanie, and a wise grandfather of nine grandchildren. He also leaves a void in the lives of his brothers and sisters, his brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, and his friends, who shared his zest for life and his passion for maple syrup farming. Without question, he was the heart and soul of his entire family. Réal served his community with sound advice, and he was also involved in marketing maple syrup at the provincial level. Personally, I have lost more than a good friend. He was my neighbour, and every year at harvest time, we would take the time to stop our tractors and share funny stories that only Réal had the gift to tell. His presence was always a source of great comfort. To my neighbour Réal, rest in peace.
