Mr. Speaker, it has been trying because the Liberal policies are crushing Canadian agriculture.
The previous Liberal agriculture minister said that farmers were fully supportive of the carbon tax. The current Liberal agriculture minister does not seem to really care. She has admitted she is not even collecting data on the carbon tax and how it impacts Canadian farmers. The Liberal carbon tax is costing Canadian farmers tens of thousands of dollars. The APAS president, Todd Lewis, says that it is comparable to having 12% of one's paycheque just disappear.
Why is the Liberal agriculture minister standing idly by while the carbon tax bankrupts Canadian farm families?
