@DalphondPierre Thank you for that narrow update, Senator. For clarity to all those reaching out to me about your tweet, the bill’s main focus has been removed - that is barn heating and cooling and greenhouses, so when the bill continues to the House and actually makes it to the House floor for… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

“The Canadian agriculture industry is expressing disappointment after senators voted in favour of an amendment to Bill C-234 on Dec. 5. ... an Alberta farmer said Canadian farmers ‘have been caught in the political crossfire.’ …” Read here👇 farms.com/ag-industry-ne…… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

@BillKingLanark A little harsh.

On Saturday I took the opportunity to visit the St. John’s #TentCity and talk with some of the people there. As a city, a province and a county we must do better - for housing, the economy and for people struggling with the cost of living and inflation. #nlpoli #cdnpoli #stjohns

@TrevKing12 Four of the new senators voted for the amendment and one - Senator Ross of NB - voted against the amendment.

@ChuckforPM Recently appointed Senator Ross of NB voted against the amendment.

@PheonixMedic @JustinTrudeau Some for against the amendment but most did not.

A pleasure to meet with President Duane Antle and Region 2 Director Tony Snook of the @NL_FireServices. We discussed national wildfire mitigation strategies, safety measures to protect firefighters and our communities and other important topics. #nlpoli #cdnpoli @SenateCA… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

ICYMI: My response to the amendment passing on Bill #C234, excluding the heating & cooling of barns and greenhouses from the carbon tax exemption. Our job should be to make operations in the food industry less expensive, not more expensive. Food is not a luxury. Watch👇… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

@MichaelS3rd The government was not in favour even though the majority of the House was in favour. Cabinet made phone calls over the weekend and moved votes. Disappointing. It will go back to the House as amended and we’ll see what happens.

@Milkabot @KelvinHeppner @maplevue Props for contributing to my speech!

My message today is to Canada’s farmers, ranchers, growers and to those who dry grain… we lost the vote on the amendment to Bill C-234. We were one vote shy of defeating the amendment. This bill is now gutted. It is likely that this will now die by process back in the House.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

@TechFanDan @JanetKrayden1 @BenLobbMP @CPC_HQ @GrainFarmers @CFAFCA @cdnagalliance @GrowersCanola @CanCattle @CanCattlemen @SenateCA @cdnpork It is hard to follow. Here’s what you need to know: any senator may put forth an amendment. Many times amendments are done to make the Bill better. Many are also frivolous. Often, if an amendment is exactly the same as one that has been defeated in the House or House/Senate… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

PROCESS UPDATE! The Senate will vote on the amendment to Bill C-234 at 5:30 pm ET tonight.

@nfldrigworker A good dog.

Over the past number of weeks, I have debated against impractical amendments to Bill C-234 - a bill which would provide Canada’s farmers, ranchers and growers much-needed tax relief from the carbon tax on transition fuels. As Senate sponsor of this bill, I have debated its merits… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

As critic of Bill C-244, I met with members of Associated Equipment Dealers to discuss how we can better support safety and the environment through legislation on repairing or modifying equipment. @AEDSocial @SenateCA #nlpoli #cdnpoli

PROCESS UPDATE: The amendment on C234 has been defeated! We now resume third reading debate on the unamended bill but for sure the opponents of the bill will put forth more roadblocks. Stay tuned. #NoFarmsNoFood #foodisnotaluxury @BenLobbMP @CPC_HQ @GrainFarmers @CFAFCA… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

BREAKING: the government representative office in the Senate is burning up the phone lines trying to convince senators to support the bill-killing amendment at today’s vote. Best response I’ve heard so far: “Thanks anyway, but I’ll do what’s best for my province.” #C234

We had a great weekend celebrating Mak’s 2nd birthday - we celebrated with a run in the park and extra treats! #nlpoli #cdnpoli @SenateCA @CPC_HQ twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

It was great to connect with farmers, ranchers, and growers today on Parliament Hill advocating for the swift passage of Ben Lobb's Bill C-234.
