Mrs. Claude DeBellefeuille
Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for giving me another opportunity to provide a few details. We supported Bill C‑234 because we understand that farmers in other provinces need support to help them make the transition and therefore be exempt from the carbon tax for eight years. However, this does not apply in Quebec because there is no carbon tax, so Quebec farmers will not see a carbon tax on the propane they use to dry their grain on their bills, as a certain member has claimed. Still, I understand that all farmers currently have needs, especially vegetable producers, who have had an extremely difficult year, the toughest year in quite some time. People are beginning to realize that the government has not been there to respond to emergencies. I would urge my feisty colleague to convince his friends to support farmers who need help getting through the current crisis.
