I'm concerned that this is likely going to be our last meeting this session and that my motion will not be reached, or if it's reached, the debate will be less than fulsome. By any gauge, Mr. Lauzon's motion has absolutely no urgency attached to it, and unless his government decides to bring in a carbon tax, there's absolutely no potential for a carbon tax to be foisted on farmers over the summer, over the fall, and not until after the next election.
I would ask for unanimous consent, Mr. Chair, that the motion, which is pressing...20 or 25 individuals have driven some 300 miles to be present for this motion, and they are wives and family members of tobacco farmers, so I would ask for unanimous consent that my motion be dealt with first, Mr. Chair.
