“I want the member to explain how higher fuel costs make farming too expensive. How does that raise the price of food for Canadians?”
“Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the member for Provencher, if he could, to further explain how some of those costs on the farms and at the farm gates are becoming almost insurmountable for some of those farmers who are working their hardest to put food on Canadian dinner plates, whether it be grains, beef or other products. How is this increased cost in fuel, which we are seeing impact things all the way down the line, impacting the actual cost on Canadian dinner plates from coast to coast to coast?”
