Carbon Pricing  When will the Prime Minister finally remove the carbon tax from farmers, first nations and families?

Carbon Pricing  Clearly, the Prime Minister is not worth the cost. Will the Prime Minister finally remove the carbon tax for farmers, families and first nations?

Carbon Pricing  Our plan is definitely not to bankrupt farmers and continue to make food unaffordable. Canadian farmers are struggling under punishing input costs such as the carbon tax. In fact, often the carbon tax costs them more than the natural gas they use. Bill C-234, a common-sense Conservative bill, is the solution, but the Prime Minister is blocking his senators from passing this bill in the Senate.

Carbon Pricing  Even first nations communities, more than 100, are fed up and taking the government to court over the carbon tax, saying it is disproportionate and an unfair burden to them. When will the Prime Minister finally take the carbon tax off families, farmers and first nations?

Affordable Housing and Groceries Act  My riding of York—Simcoe is now classified as Toronto. There has been a second carve-out on the carbon tax. They have actually rolled the census data back to 2016 to help other ridings. My riding of York—Simcoe, which is home to first nations and farmers, is clearly rural, and it is not going to get the doubling of the rural top-up for the carbon tax.

Environment committee  Yes, it's on the carbon tax and Bill C-234. It's become very clear that Minister Guilbeault has no shame in punishing Canadian farmers. In fact, he refuses to show up at this committee to defend his failed policies.

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2023-24  Speaker, if you seek it I believe you may find support for the following motion: That the House call upon the government to take the carbon tax off farmers—

Business of Supply  I know we are not supposed to reflect on the vote that just took place, and the House generally does not take the same question twice, but if the government does want to avoid a marathon voting session, all it has to do is take the carbon tax off of farmers, families and first nations.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, once again, let me highlight this great occasion of the censorship party that values American politics and American news more than what is going on in our country. The story here is that the Liberals imposed a carbon tax, everything is too expensive and nobody can afford it. I am ashamed that he has time to talk about American politics. It is shameful.

Business of Supply  People in some parts of my riding cannot afford to make the transition, and that is why the government put a pause on the carbon tax for three years with a direct tie to an enhanced heat pump program to help people make a transition. It was the responsible thing to do. It applies across the country, and it does not undermine the climate program.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, multiple times we have allowed the Conservatives to bring forward a motion on the carbon tax in this place. Many of them have stood and said in the House today that this is the number one thing they are hearing from their constituents. I have been thinking about this a lot today, and the number one issue that constituents are reaching out to me about right now is dental care, bar none.

Business of Supply  First, I feel the need to explain the motion we are discussing. It is the reality. The House is calling on the government to repeal the carbon tax on farmers, first nations and families. I will speak to those three points. I will bring a level of moderation to this conversation. I have heard a whole bunch of stuff here today, and I will give my perspective on the motion and on the question, writ large, about where Canada goes in the days ahead in relation to environmental progress and how we get there.

Business of Supply  What is going to be really costly to taxpayers? It certainly has to do with agriculture, but not with the carbon tax. What farmers are telling us is that the lack of water is going to be costly. Crops lost to pests are going to be costly. Heat is having a real impact on livestock, productivity and reproduction.
