Bill C-234, a private member’s bill tabled in the House of Commons last February, would amend the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act to exempt carbon taxes from propane and natural gas used to heat or cool barns and livestock buildings, and dry grain — essentially extending carbon tax exemptions already available to farmers on gasoline and diesel.

“The Prime Minister and entire Liberal Party is trying to take away the livelihood from Canadian farmers, it’s a simple as that,” he said.

“They have decided that the whole country is subject to what (Environment) Minister (Steven) Guilbeault wants.”

The carbon tax, he said, simply takes money out of the pockets of farmers — particularly since natural gas and propane, so-called “transition fuels,” burn markedly cleaner than gasoline or diesel.

“The carbon tax is supposed to send a price signal to incentivize the transition to lower carbon emitting fuels,” Wells said.
