Madam Speaker, it is rather confusing.
My colleague is telling us that the carbon tax applies but that it applies indirectly. It is hard to see what he is getting at.
If we really want to help farmers in Quebec, then we need to defend the supply management bill. My advice to my colleague is to talk to the Conservative senators and ask them to pass Bill C-282 and move it forward a bit more quickly. I am sure that all farmers in Quebec will be much happier with him for doing that than for fiercely defending a tax that does not apply to us.
