Despite senior officials vowing no more carve-outs of Canada’s carbon tax policy, Canada’s agricultural sector is urging the government to cut them a break.on the verge of either becoming law or entering Parliamentary purgatory, the country’s food producers say they’re long overdue for a little relief.— a move clearly meant to bolster cratering Atlantic Canada poll numbers, but one experts say demonstrates how malleable the federal government’s climate policies really are.
“We have certain industries in this country that can actually produce food year-round,” Mushrooms Canada CEO Ryan Koeslag told the National Post.

“For farmers, there are no viable alternatives except for natural gas and propane for food production and growing food, whether that’s drying your grain or cooling your barn,” he said. “Because the government controls the pace and placement of bills, it would just die a slow, lonely death — especially after the steps we saw late last week in carving out exemptions on home heating fuel,” he said.
