Mr. Speaker, potato farmers in P.E.I. have told me that they are bracing themselves for the impact that high diesel prices are going to have on their farms. Nathan told me that fuel prices have already doubled to $14,000 for harvest this year. Skyview Farms told me that their fuel price was $19,000 in one month. Ike said that when diesel prices in P.E.I. go up, the price of everything goes up.
High diesel prices are driving up costs on farmers and grocery prices for every single Canadian. Will the out-of-touch Liberals support our Conservative plan to reduce taxes on diesel, or will they turn their backs on farmers at harvest?
