Madam Speaker, Claims · 38 wordsas families prepare for Thanksgiving, farmers tell me that rising diesel prices are adding yet another cost they cannot afford. Brian, a farmer from Holland, told my office the price of diesel is becoming unsustainable. Many others agree. Reasoning · 67 wordsAfter years of skyrocketing fertilizer and equipment costs, higher fuel prices may be the final straw for many farm families. These costs are not isolated to farmers. Every family putting food on the table this Thanksgiving pays these costs in higher food prices.No reason given Farmers cannot control the weather or the price at the pump, but the government controls how much it taxes the production of these essentials. Claims · 43 wordsConservatives put forward an emergency fuel relief plan to lower diesel costs and expand Canadian production, but the Liberals voted it down.¹ West Manitoba farmers are working through difficult circumstances this fall to get the job done and deliver affordable food to tables. The question · 10 wordsWhy are the Liberals not prepared to do the same?
