Carbon exemption bill nearing close of Senate deliberations
October 6, 2023
A bill to exempt propane and natural gas from the carbon price when used for grain drying and barn heating was nearing the end of its winding road through the Senate after an Oct. 5 meeting.
Thursday morning the Senate’s committee on agriculture and forestry heard final witnesses speak on Bill C-234, which would amend the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act to expand farm-related carbon price exemptions.
At the committee’s next meeting on Oct. 17, it will consider potential amendments before returning it to the senate chamber where they will debate the bill again before a third reading.
