Madam Speaker, it was very interesting. I heard the member talk about the fact that he is from Whitby in the Durham region. I know that in Durham one of the fastest-growing economies is agriculture.
Just last week, as I was sitting at a kitchen table with one of the farmers, his $7,000 gas bill for drying his corn had a $1,200 carbon tax. What are the farmers in the member's area saying about the carbon tax? The farmers in Elgin—Middlesex—London are against it.
Could the member explain how $1,200 is good for the economy when it is going to the carbon tax, out of the pockets of farmers?
