Mr. Speaker, I thank the colleague across the way for his criticism of the solutions the Conservatives have brought forward.
He often gets up and talks about farmers and the agriculture industry. There are several dairy farmers in my riding and in Newfoundland and Labrador who have run into some severe financial trouble over the last couple of years. As a concerned member, I have often visited them and asked what is contributing to this financial pressure they are undergoing. One of the things I consistently hear about is the increased costs on farm equipment, and one of those cost pressures is the industrial carbon tax.
I wonder if the farmers are giving me incorrect information, because according to what we are hearing from the member across the way, everything seems to be going fantastically for dairy farmers in Atlantic Canada.
