MPs vote to exempt grain drying from carbon tax

Members of Parliament voted 176 to 146 to pass third reading of a bill that exempts propane and natural gas used to dry grain and heat barns from the carbon tax.


The bill now goes to the Senate.


Agriculture Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau was among four Liberals who voted against the bill which was introduced by Ben Lobb, Conservative MP for Huron-Bruce.
