Obviously, this is something we're doing because right now it's not an option to repeal the carbon tax. Repealing the carbon tax is what we hear out in Saskatchewan as the first choice. Thank you for bringing this bill forward to have some easement of the cost being borne by Saskatchewan producers.
Some people say that producers get a rebate, so what's the big deal if they're going to get the money back that they're putting forward? We saw recently, though, that lots of people in provinces across this country receive less of a rebate than what they paid in carbon taxes. If there's going to be a rebate—that will be some of the argument of our colleagues—why would you take the money in the first place if you're just going to give it back ? Most of the time when the government gives a rebate, it's not as much as what has been paid in the first place.
Have you heard some of the producers talk about a rebate? Is there a similar feeling that if you're going to give the money back, then why take it in the first place?
