I understand that there is work to be done upstream, Mr. Caron, but the difficulty that we have right now is on the harvest side. Particularly in Quebec, there is an important link to make with the issue of grain drying. Bill C-234 adds certain fuels used for grain drying to the list of products exempt from the fuel charge. This is very much the focus of the bill.
I am trying to detect in your comments what may be a solution in the short term. I agree with you that land rotation could provide medium and longer-term improvements, but what are the short term solutions?
If this requested exemption is not provided soon, the fuel charge will quickly become a burden on farmers. I'm thinking of grain drying, among other things, but there's also building heating, which is far from negligible in Quebec.
