Okay.
Bill C-234 is a bill that was presented by one of our members. It's an opposition member's private member's bill that would call for an exemption from the carbon tax for things like grain drying in agricultural operations. That bill is currently being held up in the Senate. If you're not completely familiar with it, I won't ask your opinion on it, but I'd urge you to do some research on it. It would be an interesting policy for your members to get behind.
There are a couple of other things.
Canada is in a situation where we have a serious problem with per capita GDP. For example, in 2021 the OECD projected that our economy would perform worse this decade than all other member countries, with per capita GDP growing at only 0.7 of 1% annually, though at least that would be an improvement over the last five years.
We have a situation where this government has been in office now for eight years. We have anemic economic growth. They've doubled our national debt from $600 billion to $1.2 trillion. Interest rates have skyrocketed. Doesn't this put businesses in a terrible position in terms of how they're going to navigate their way into the future?
