There are a lot of struggling farmers out there. They are struggling to pay their bills, and a lot of the struggling on the financial side of it is from the carbon tax that's been imposed on grain drying and space heating.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6111048\" data-originallang=\"en\">It's causing a lot of financial stress. It's also causing a lot of mental stress. As a matter of fact, the Manitoba farm and rural stress line is starting to receive increased calls.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6111049\" data-originallang=\"en\">I don't know if you see any correlation, Minister, between farmers' accessing mental health services and the impact the imposition of the carbon tax has had on farmers, especially since you have imposed those carbon taxes. I don't know if you see any correlation in that or if you have heard anything about that.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6111046\" data-originallang=\"en\">D'accord.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6111047\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je ne sais pas si vous comprenez \u00e0 quel point il est important pour la province du Manitoba de faire approuver son plan. Il y a beaucoup d'agriculteurs qui ont du mal \u00e0 joindre les deux bouts. Ils ont du mal \u00e0 payer leurs factures, et une bonne part de leurs difficult\u00e9s financi\u00e8res d\u00e9coule de la taxe sur le carbone qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 impos\u00e9e sur le s\u00e9chage des grains et le chauffage des locaux. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6111048\" data-originallang=\"en\">La taxe est \u00e0 l'origine de beaucoup de d\u00e9tresse financi\u00e8re et de d\u00e9tresse mentale. Le volume d'appels \u00e0 la ligne t\u00e9l\u00e9phonique d'aide aux agriculteurs et aux r\u00e9sidants des zones rurales du Manitoba a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 grimper.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6111049\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le ministre, vous qui avez impos\u00e9 ces taxes sur le carbone, voyez-vous la corr\u00e9lation entre la demande de services de sant\u00e9 mentale de la part des agriculteurs et l'incidence de la taxe sur le carbone sur les agriculteurs? Je me demande si vous y voyez une corr\u00e9lation ou si vous en avez entendu parler.</p>"
