That's great. Thank you very much.
I want to say thank you again for the good work that you're doing. I did have the opportunity to actually attend one of your events to see first-hand the connection between the different generations and how happy everyone was to be there, so I want to thank you for the good work that you're doing.
It is important to hear testimony here at this committee, and we've had the witnesses make statements. This committee does have other work that it does as well, so, Mr. Chair, I would like to move a motion.
I move:
That, given that:
(a) the carbon tax threatens the income security of farmers, farm workers, and employment in the agricultural sector;
(b) the Senate is expected to vote on Bill C-234 to remove the carbon tax from grain drying and barn heating;
(c) Canadian farmers have called upon the Senate to pass this important legislation;
(d) Bill C-234 would save farmers one billion dollars, and help lower food prices for Canadians;
the committee call upon Senators who are delaying the passage of the legislation to stop playing political games with the livelihoods of Canadian farmers, recognize the decision of the elected House of Commons, and pass Bill C-234 into law without further delay.
Part of the mandate of this committee covers income security programs.
That is the entirety of the motion. It has been circulated to the committee members.
