“The Conservatives are working against canola farmers. The Conservative leader's own riding has Canada's largest renewable diesel plant, which buys up to half of Alberta's canola. That plant helps Alberta farmers, and the Conservatives should support them.”

Mr. Speaker, I am not sure why the Conservatives are so stuck on the idea of working against canola farmers, including in the riding of the Leader of the Opposition. First of all, he has the second-largest canola-producing riding, but it also has Canada’s largest renewable diesel facility, the Imperial Strathcona facility. It actually purchases up to 50% of the canola produced in Alberta. That is good for Alberta farmers. I would hope that the Conservatives would be standing with those farmers as we provide those important opportunities.
