Madam Chair, does the finance minister agree with the agriculture minister that farmers should have to drain their personal savings before the government will provide assistance to them?

Madam Chair, based on Statistics Canada information, the average Canadian farm, by size, is 1,668 acres. APAS calculates the carbon tax at $2.38 an acre for 2020, which costs farmers just shy of $4,000. It is going up to $3.80 an acre in 2022, bringing the total to over $6,300.

Does the minister think it is okay to keep raising the carbon tax on the producers responsible for our food supply chain?

That is why we put forward $5 billion in lending capacity for Farm Credit Canada. It is why we put forward $125 million through AgriRecovery, including measures to help cattle and pork sectors, $50 million to help with the mandatory isolation period for temporary foreign workers, the launch of the $77.5-million emergency—
