Madam Chair, as the government will not answer my question, I will answer it myself.

The Canadian Federation of Independent Business said that for the average farmer, the carbon tax will cost $14,000.

I have a private member's bill that would help relieve this burden. As part of team Canada, will the government support my private member's bill to remove the carbon tax from propane and natural gas?
