Carbon Pricing  He exported a gigantic turbine to Putin to pump gas into Europe and fund the war over there. Meanwhile, he imposes a carbon tax here at home. He can try all he wants to impose the carbon tax through a trade agreement or by delaying the carbon tax election, but here are the facts: I will win the carbon tax election, and I will axe the tax.

Business of Supply  Throughout today’s debate, I heard stories from my colleagues that I have heard in my riding, stories of farmers getting bills in the hundreds of thousands of dollars thanks to the carbon tax. Before I stood to speak today, I spoke with a farmer in my riding, who is still out harvesting, by the way, and who said that the carbon tax is more than just a kick to the shin; it is a drop kick to the face.

International Trade committee  We get to oppose bad pieces of legislation. We get to oppose your ideological obsession with carbon taxes, carbon prices and the absolute misery they've imposed on Canadians. Canadians are skipping meals because of the carbon tax. Farmers are being beaten into submission because of the carbon tax.

Business of Supply  This legislation would remove the carbon tax from fuels used by farmers in the production of their crops, which would have a beneficial impact on the price of food.” The neighbouring premier, in Nova Scotia, Tim Houston, also wrote in support of Bill C-234: The carbon tax has a significant impact on the Nova Scotian agricultural sector.

Business of Supply  The carbon tax is also paid indirectly when we import goods from other provinces. As far as I know, Quebec is not self-sufficient. We import many products from provinces that pay the full carbon tax, and that tax is passed on to us, either in higher prices or high transportation costs.

Richard LehouxConservative

Business of Supply  We are seeing more and more examples of the Conservatives' intimidation and disinformation strategy. It all seems to come down to one thing for the Conservatives: their fixation on the carbon tax. The Conservatives have a passionate love affair with oil, which makes the carbon tax a cardinal sin in their eyes. This is version one million of my opposition day carbon tax speech.

Business of Supply  We have heard in question period, statements and speeches what farmers are facing with the carbon tax. The other thing that is frightening to farmers is they know this is not the end of it. They know that on April 1 every year, the carbon tax will go up until 2030, to the point where, in many cases, the profit margin will no longer be there at all for small farmers.

Ben LobbConservative

Committees of the House  Madam Speaker, for a carbon tax to reduce consumer reliance or get consumers to switch from a high-carbon consumer product or practice such as, let us say, filling up a gas-powered car, there has to be affordable substitute goods for them to purchase.

Michelle RempelConservative

Committees of the House  I think we should be incentivizing farmers to do those things, not punishing them with a carbon tax.

Carbon Pricing  Speaker, this morning, the Chiefs of Ontario joined the chorus of Canadians decrying the failure of the Liberal carbon tax. This burden inflicted upon first nations, allegedly the most important relationship for this Prime Minister, has forced 133 chiefs to take the government to court in order to get relief.

Carbon Pricing  Speaker, the Prime Minister could not care less about Ukraine. He only cares about the fact that he is losing the carbon tax debate so badly that he would suggest that anyone who is against the carbon tax is against Ukraine. The exact opposite is true. He is not bringing in a free trade agreement with Ukraine; we already have a free trade agreement with Ukraine, which Conservatives initiated and he had no part in.

Pierre PoilievreConservative

Business of Supply  Our leader put it very succinctly. One of his constituents is paying $10,000 a month in carbon tax. How can anyone be expected to run a business when the carbon tax is $10,000 a month? This has to be paid to the federal government on a taxation policy that does not do what it is supposed to do.

Warren SteinleyConservative

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, everything the Prime Minister has said about his carbon tax has been proven to be false. Most recently, he said that farmers only pay a teeny carbon tax. Well, it turns out that that tax adds up to well over $100,000 a year for just one mushroom farm in my riding.

Pierre PoilievreConservative

Carbon Pricing  It really is not an option. People need to pay for gas and need to be paying the higher carbon tax as a result of this government's plans. The government has made life more unaffordable for us in northern Ontario, and to make matters worse, its carbon tax plan has not done the job to protect the environment.

Eric MelilloConservative

Environment committee  One of the important challenges we see facing farmers right now is an increasing debt load and increasing taxes, particularly the carbon tax and the impact that has. It's removing capital from their ability to make practice changes, enhance wetlands and take meaningful action on the ground. I'd like you to expand on what impact the reduction in capital available to farmers through the carbon tax and other taxation and policy decisions has in terms of their ability to deliver these ecological goods and services.
