Bill C-234, which would provide carbon tax relief on propane and natural gas used for drying grain and heating barns, remains in the committee stage in the senate.
The bill is likely to remain there until Parliament resumes in September.
“It’s disappointing that this bill didn’t receive royal assent,” Rick Prejet, chair of Manitoba Pork, told Farms.com. “It makes sense to get this bill passed, especially when you’re talking about a sector that doesn’t have any alternative fuel options for barn heating.”
