Madam Speaker, I am going to ask a question in English because I want my friend to clearly understand my question.
Total net farm income across Canada decreased by about $9.1 billion. In Quebec, the decrease was almost the highest in the country, with net farm income going down more than 43% last year. The reason for that net loss in income for farmers is the much higher input costs on feed, fuel and fertilizer, which are a result of Liberal-NDP policies, such as the carbon tax.
I would like to ask my colleague a question. How does he go home and talk to his constituents while continuing to support the Liberal government when he knows that its policies are destroying family farms, our rural communities and their economies?
