Cypress Hills Grasslands MP David Anderson has been busy with his role as Federal Agriculture Critic.
The Cypress Hills Grasslands MP was named to the portfolio following the October election.
Anderson says there are a number of key issues that will have an impact on the ag sector from the crops and markets to bovine TB, transportation, and the proposed carbon tax.
"We just think that is a disastrous way to go. If we want to deal with the environmental issues, there are other ways of dealing with that. Carbon Tax is not an effective way and it punishes agriculture more than anything else," Anderson said.
He notes another key area Canada must remain focused on is trade – noting the TransPacific Partnership.
Anderson says they have a lot of concern over some of the Liberal policies and their impact on agriculture such as their plan to implement a carbon tax.
