CANADA - The President of Keystone Agricultural Producers is calling for farmers to be exempt from any carbon on the inputs they use to produce food, writes Bruce Cochrane.In September the federal government announced that all provinces must have a carbon pricing system in place by the end of 2018 or it will impose such a system.The Manitoba government is inviting Manitobans to have their say through an on-line survey as it develops a Provincial Climate and Green Plan.Keystone Agricultural Producers President Dan Mazier says, while some jurisdiction are implementing a tax, others, most notably the United States are not so farmers in those jurisdictions where a carbon tax is implemented, especially those that rely on export markets, will be at a distinct disadvantage to those in jurisdictions that don't impost a tax.

政策組織(Keystone Agricultural Producers)主席呼吁，應當移除農民們在生產糧食時投入的生產資料上的任何
碳排放稅。加拿大聯邦政府在去年九月宣布，所有生產商必須在2018年底納入碳定價系統中，或者納入碳排放稅系統中。曼尼托巴省政府正在邀請曼尼托巴省人民，通過一份在線調查來反饋他們想說的，共同打造一個地方性綠色氣候計劃(Provincial Climate and Green Plan)。拱心石農業政策組織主席Dan Mazier說：“有些司法管轄區正在推行碳排放稅，最顯著的非美國莫屬了，那兒的農民已經開始被征收碳排放稅。這樣的做法將會使不征收碳稅的司法管轄區比征收碳稅的司法管轄區在出口
市場上更有優勢。”
