Human Resources committee  For those who haven't been following this, the motion is as follows: That, given that: (a) the carbon tax threatens the income security of farmers, farm workers, and employment in the agricultural sector; (b) the Senate is expected to vote on Bill C-234 to remove the carbon tax from grain drying and barn heating; (c) Canadian farmers have called upon the Senate to pass this important legislation; (d) Bill C-234 would save farmers one billion dollars— That's according to the PBO as well, Mr.

Human Resources committee  This committee does have other work that it does as well, so, Mr. Chair, I would like to move a motion. I move: That, given that: (a) the carbon tax threatens the income security of farmers, farm workers, and employment in the agricultural sector; (b) the Senate is expected to vote on Bill C-234 to remove the carbon tax from grain drying and barn heating; (c) Canadian farmers have called upon the Senate to pass this important legislation; (d) Bill C-234 would save farmers one billion dollars, and help lower food prices for Canadians; the committee call upon Senators who are delaying the passage of the legislation to stop playing political games with the livelihoods of Canadian farmers, recognize the decision of the elected House of Commons, and pass Bill C-234 into law without further delay.

Questions Passed as Orders for Returns  With regard to the federal carbon tax or price on carbon, since 2018, broken down by year: (a) what was the average dollar amount collected by the government from (i) individual Canadians, (ii) individual Canadian business; (b) what is the breakdown of (a)(i) and (a)(ii) by province or territory; (c) what was the per capita dollar amount collected by the government; (d) what is the breakdown of (c) by province or territory; (e) what was the average climate action incentive payment received by (i) individual Canadians, (ii) businesses; and (f) what is the breakdown of (e)(i) and (e)(ii) by province or territory?

Carbon Pricing  Yesterday, his NDP-Liberal government got its wish when the senators betrayed farmers, gutting this important bill and keeping the carbon tax. This keeps food prices high and farmers struggling. Farmers across Canada buy the goods they need retail and sell what they produce wholesale. After eight long years, farmers know that the Prime Minister is just not worth the cost.

Carbon Pricing  He spent the weekend making desperate and panic-stricken phone calls to senators, pleading with them kill Bill C-234, and yesterday that is exactly what they did when they voted to gut the bill and keep food prices high for struggling Canadians. When will the Prime Minister listen to Canadians and take the carbon tax off farmers, first nations and families who just want to heat their homes?

Carbon Pricing  This will keep food prices high at a time when Canadians are struggling. Will this Prime Minister scrap his plans to radically increase the carbon tax on farmers and families?

Carbon Pricing  I will repeat my question and hope that my colleague across the way will take the time to answer. When will the Prime Minister give up his plan to radically increase the carbon tax?

Carbon Pricing  When will the Liberals finally understand that if we tax the farmers who grow the food and the truckers who ship the food, it is eventually going to cost more for Canadians to buy the food? When will the Prime Minister set aside his ideological attachment to the carbon tax and finally give a break to farmers, first nations and Canadian families this Christmas?

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, I know for a fact that farmers are asking the minister to axe the carbon tax. The Prime Minister promised that the Senate would be independent, but the actions this past week prove that that is a complete farce. We know he bullied his senators. The Prime Minister himself was on the phone over the weekend telling them they had to gut Bill C-234.

Carbon Pricing  Speaker, the Prime Minister spent the weekend pressuring Liberal senators, demanding that they kill our Conservative bill that would axe the carbon tax for Canadian farmers. Yesterday, those senators bowed to their political master. They used every dirty trick in the book to gut the bill. The truth is that the Liberals are not hurting us.

Carbon Pricing  The food bank use in my riding is up over 100%, so will the Prime Minister finally listen to Canadians and take the carbon tax off farmers, first nations and families?

Carbon Pricing  The Prime Minister is determined to ruin Christmas for Canadians, so Conservatives will ruin his vacation. We will stay here and we will fight until the Prime Minister decides to take the carbon tax off families, farmers and first nations. Will he do it?

Carbon Pricing  Speaker, a desperate and panicking Prime Minister spent the weekend calling Liberal senators, pleading with them to keep the carbon tax on farmers. The Conservatives' common-sense plan would take the tax off the people who grow the food, ship the food, and, as a result, off Canadians who buy the food. Yesterday, he got his Christmas wish.

Canadian Environmental Bill of Rights  In contrast, the Liberal government's approach to environmental policy has often been marked by inefficiency and red tape. A prime example is the carbon tax; not only is this policy ineffective in reducing carbon emissions, but it also imposes an undue economic burden on Canadian families and businesses. This tax affects every aspect of Canadians' lives, from heating their homes to fuelling their vehicles, without offering a viable solution to environmental challenges.

Committees of the House  Of course, a large portion of the Northumberland—Peterborough South economy is agriculture, so our farmers came to us and said the carbon tax was killing them. They presented me with bills for tens of thousands of dollars in carbon tax. That was back when the carbon tax was a lot lower than it is now, when it was only $20 a tonne.
