Mr. Speaker, Claims · 53 wordsfarmers across Canada are now harvesting the crops they worked all year to grow, but as harvest begins, farmers are facing a major challenge: the skyrocketing cost of diesel. Diesel powers the combines and tractors working in our fields. It powers the trains that move our grain and the trucks that deliver it. Reasoning · 12 wordsWhen the cost of fuel goes up, the farmer’s revenue goes down. Claims · 17 wordsA single combine can use more than 1,100 dollars’ worth of diesel in one day of harvest.¹ Reasoning · 19 wordsFarmers should be focusing on harvesting their crops, not on how they are going to pay their diesel bills. The ask · 6 wordsThe Liberal government needs to act. Claims · 17 wordsOur emergency fuel relief plan would cut diesel taxes and get more fuel produced here at home.² Reasoning · 14 wordsCanadians need affordable fuel to get through the harvest and keep our economy moving. The ask · 10 wordsIt is time for the government to put Canadians first.
