The House of Commons overwhelmingly passed a bill to make food cheaper and help farmers.
It may seem like a small change, but the carbon tax is a big cost for farmers, even with the existing exemptions.
The carbon tax on propane and natural gas will cost farmers $1 billion through 2030, according to the Parliamentary Budget Officer.This March, MPs passed Lobb’s Bill C-234 to remove the carbon tax from these farm fuels. Conservatives, New Democrats, the Bloc Quebecois, both Green Party members and a couple independents voted in favour of the bill. Liberals Kody Blois, Heath MacDonald and Robert Morrissey also voted in favour.
You would think that might spur the Senate to more briskly shuffle this duly passed bill through the unelected Upper Chamber.
