Greens back carbon tax break for grain drying



The federal Green Party has come out in favour of granting a break on the carbon tax that has been requested by Grain Farmers of Canada.

Vancouver Island MP Paul Manly, the Green Party’s caucus critic for agriculture, announced the party’s position Monday.
“We support the grain producers of Canada in their appeal to the federal government to waive the carbon tax on fuel used for grain drying during last year’s harvest,” he said in a release.
