Mr. Chair, for the sake of time and because of our witnesses, maybe I'll just read this motion into the record:
That the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-food urges the Government of Canada to ensure Canadian farmers are not saddled with a carbon tax which would further increase their input costs and hurt their competitiveness vis-à-vis their American competitors.
Very briefly, Mr. Chair, I want to make this motion because the farmers I've spoken to say that if a carbon tax is put into place, their input costs would skyrocket. It would actually be devastating to the agricultural industry.
I would like to file this motion.
