Business of Supply Mr. Speaker, the Liberals and the New Democrats continue to come here with their carbon-tax religion, failing to recognize that carbon is actually a building block of life and it is plant food, and that the carbon tax is not a climate change policy and has nothing to do

Business of Supply to amend the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act, to remove the carbon tax on the farmers that feed Canadians, as passed by the democratically elected House.” Allow me to give a bit of background. The private member's bill, sponsored by the member for Huron—Bruce, was sent over

Business of Supply plants or for nutrient management plans. They do all that, and the Liberal government gives them zero credit. That is even further frustrating to farmers. They are paying all of this carbon tax and treating their farm like their child, beautifully, but they get no credit

International Trade committee Thank you, Madam Chair. Despite the fact that everything Mr. Seeback just said about the price on pollution in Canada is patently incorrect, the Conservatives' issue with the carbon tax is just another red herring. We've hit a new low when Conservatives are trying to avoid

International Trade committee , which we do in this legislation. What my friend probably doesn't understand is what the effect of carbon leakage is. Carbon leakage would mean that Ukraine could not have a carbon tax or a carbon price so low as to attract investment, because that's considered carbon leakage. It's

Business of Supply was one of the people who gave the idea for the beginnings of this bill in the last Parliament to the member for Northumberland—Peterborough South, which was Bill C-206, which, at that time, talked about taking the carbon tax off the drying of grains. With Bill C-234, we look

Business of Supply are consistent about is that if they can insert the words “carbon tax” somewhere, they will use it as an excuse to vote against something. This makes for some particularly bizarre decisions, like their decision to vote against the bill to implement the free trade agreement with Ukraine. I

International Trade committee and carbon leakage have been removed from the modernized Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement”. What we know is that carbon taxes in Canada have caused enormous misery for Canadians. We have seen just recently that 800,000 Ontarians are now going to the food bank as a result of the carbon

International Trade committee at facilitating weapons export and manufacturing in Ukraine. As we've said previously, what Ukraine needs most is not a carbon tax. I would say Ukraine doesn't need a carbon tax at all. What Ukraine needs is not provisions on carbon leakage that would effectively create the mechanism by which

Business of Supply Madam Speaker, listening to the Conservatives is confusing. It is hard to tell where they are going. We talk about the carbon tax. We say that it does not apply in Quebec. They continue to say that it does. We saw that earlier. We say again that it does not apply

Business of Supply , to remove the carbon tax on the farmers that feed Canadians, as passed by the democratically elected House. Essentially, today's debate is on a motion to try to get a Conservative private member's bill through the Senate. I am amazed because today Conservatives are acting with outrage

Business of Supply . The carbon tax also applies indirectly, because not everything we grow and eat in Quebec comes from Quebec. It is therefore really important to eliminate this tax and to get Bill C‑234 passed as quickly as possible. I hope we can all agree on that.

Business of Supply 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

Business of Supply agreement because of the carbon tax, except that it will be easy to demonstrate that the carbon tax does not apply to that agreement. We have a double nomination today. There is the Donald Trump award as well as the Homer Simpson award, which could be handed out at the end of the day.

Business of Supply are seeing more and more examples of the Conservatives' intimidation and disinformation strategy. It all seems to come down to one thing for the Conservatives: their fixation on the carbon tax. The Conservatives have a passionate love affair with oil, which makes the carbon tax a cardinal
