A heated exchange in the House of Commons thrust one south Ottawa mushroom farm into the spotlight earlier this week.
During Wednesday’s question period, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre sparred over Bill C-234, which seeks to remove the carbon tax from natural gas and propane used in farming.
At one point during their exchange Poilievre mentioned Carleton Mushroom Farms, a family business located in the rural community of Osgoode, which he said could use some financial relief.
Poilievre said the carbon tax currently adds up to more than $100,000 in extra costs per year for the farm, which is co-owned by Mike Medeiros.
