Bill C-234 back on the agenda for the House of Commons

Jan 30, 2024

MP's are back to work today in Ottawa following the Christmas break.

Over the last few weeks, MPs have been spending time in their ridings meeting with their constituents to discuss their concerns.

They'll be raising those concerns with their colleagues back in Ottawa.

A key issue for the agriculture sector and one of the first Bills expected to hit the floor this week for discussion is Bill C-234.

That's the Conservative bill which seeks to take the carbon price off natural gas and propane used by farmers for running grain dryers or for heating barns and greenhouses.

The Senate sent the bill back to the House of Commons with amendments that eliminate any reference to heating barns or greenhouses and tighten the timeline for the legislation.
