Resolved, that KAP lobby the Government of Canada to remove the fuel charge on all farm inputs under the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act (including farm heating on livestock buildings, workshops and grain drying).
Previous federal legislation—Bill C-206 and Bill C-234—attempted to exempt natural gas and propane used on farms from the federal carbon tax. While both bills passed the House of Commons with cross-party support, Senate amendments to Bill C-234 limited the exemption to grain drying only, removing coverage for barn and greenhouse heating.
In March 2025, the federal government eliminated the consumer carbon tax.
