For this upcoming year, it's not complete yet, but last year we paid just over $150,000 for the year in carbon tax. There was no rebate for us whatsoever.
A couple of years ago, when the greenhouse growers received their exemption, which was up to 80%, I reached out to CRA and wondered why the mushroom industry wasn't included in this as well, considering that when we do our taxes we're in the same code as that for greenhouse growers. Basically, they're saying that because we don't have glass roofs with our facilities, we're not exempt. I know that some of the pot producers don't use glass roofs—they're indoors, like we are—and they're exempt from the carbon tax, so I was disappointed with that. I guess if you're a hydroponic grower, as a greenhouse as well, you'd be exempt, even though you don't have a glass roof.
I made those points with CRA, and they still wouldn't accept my thoughts on being exempted for the carbon tax.
