Farmers should be fully exempt from the Liberal carbon tax

5 February 2020

The Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan released updated estimates on the impact of the Liberal carbon tax. On average Saskatchewan farmers can expect to lose 8% of their total net income to the carbon tax this year and that is set to grow to 12% in less than two years.

The carbon tax unfairly punishes farmers and completely disregards their contributions to environmental sustainability – facts that the Prime Minister continues to dismiss.
