Carbon Pricing  The NDP-Liberal government spends its days developing new ways to tax Canadians and drive up costs. The Conservatives proposed Bill C-234 to take the carbon tax off farmers, but this piece of work Prime Minister has pressured his appointed senators to block the bill. After eight years, will the Prime Minister finally get his hands out of the pockets of farmers, families and first nations and axe the carbon tax?

Carbon Pricing  After eight years, the NDP-Liberal government is not worth the cost. Will the Prime Minister listen to Canadians and take the carbon tax off farmers, first nations and families who are struggling to get by?

Carbon Pricing  The Prime Minister continues to stand in the way of Canadian farmers and punish them with this carbon tax. When will the Prime Minister set aside his ideological position on the carbon tax and remove it for all farmers, families and first nations?

Carbon Pricing  Speaker, today, Canadians across the country are feeling betrayed by the Prime Minister's senators, who voted to gut Conservative Bill C-234, a bill that would have provided carbon tax relief for Canadian farmers and for Canadian families who are just trying to put food on the table. After eight years, will the Prime Minister end his carbon tax obsession and provide relief for Canadians so they can stop turning to food banks?

Carbon Pricing  Is it one week, two weeks or three weeks until the Prime Minister finally relents and cancels his carbon tax on farmers, families and first nations?

Carbon Pricing  My kids are getting fed, but my house is freezing.” The Prime Minister's solution is to quadruple the carbon tax on that single mother and on seniors. We have a common-sense Conservative bill to take the carbon tax off farmers and food. Why did the Prime Minister manipulate and intimidate Liberal senators into blocking that bill?

Carbon Pricing  It is time to axe the carbon tax before it bankrupts all Canadians. Will the Prime Minister finally take off the carbon tax for our farmers, our families and our first nations?

Carbon Pricing  Speaker, after eight years, the NDP-Liberal government has made life unaffordable for Canadians in every province and territory. Canadians are suffering under the Prime Minister's oppressive carbon tax. While he taxes, he also divides, pausing the carbon tax on home heating oil in Atlantic Canada because he wants votes, while he quadruples the tax on every other Canadian. When will the Prime Minister finally cancel the carbon tax on families, farmers and first nations?

Carbon Tax  Now, it is quadrupling it. Will the Prime Minister stop punishing rural Canadians and finally get rid of the carbon tax on farmers, families and first nations?

Human Resources committee  Barlow, the shadow minister or critic for agriculture, has talked about the threatened income security of farmers, which is pertinent to the motion. There is a chicken farmer in his riding whose carbon tax was $120,000 in 2022. It will be $180,000 in 2023. When the tax goes up to $170 per tonne, it will be $480,000 in carbon tax per year. What people also don't know is that there is a tax on a tax.

Affordable Housing and Groceries Act  Farmer Brown from Ontario phoned me this week. He said that he wanted me to tell the Prime Minister that the carbon tax will make everything cost more, that everything must go up in price. Whatever they spend to make the product, they have to get back when they sell it. Whatever amount the carbon tax is increased by, the price will have to go up that amount.

Agriculture committee  Thank you very much. Mr. Medline, one thing I didn't hear you mention is the carbon tax. Could you explain to this committee how the carbon tax would affect the price of food at the retail level, and where along the supply chain your company would pay the carbon tax?

Carbon Pricing  A pork farmer with a pork farm just down the road from where I grew up had a natural gas bill in February that was $4,300. His carbon tax was $3,300, or 75%. How can any farmer make a living when farmers have to pay that much carbon tax on the natural gas they use on their farms? When will the Prime Minister take the tax off farmers' families and make it fair for farmers?

Carbon Pricing  Speaker, I want to help the NDP-Liberal government understand why, after eight years, Canadians know that the Prime Minister is not worth the cost. Let us look at the carbon tax alone. A recent report by APAS shows that Saskatchewan farmers will pay over $40 million in carbon tax just to get their grains to port. A rebate does not even come close to covering that cost for our farmers.

Carbon Pricing  We start looking over the bills and costs associated with farming and one of the highest line items is the carbon tax imposed by the Prime Minister. Rather than hiring a helping hand or upgrading our machinery, we are paying an increasing carbon tax. Therefore, why will the Prime Minister not let his senators pass Bill C-234 and axe the tax for on-farm fuels?
