Speech: Affordable food starts with affordable fertilizer

February 2, 2026

Fertilizer production is essential to Canadian agriculture and to our food security.

But instead of supporting this vital sector, the Liberal government is punishing it through carbon taxes and costly emissions targets.

As a result, Canadians are paying more for essential groceries.

This government must get out of the way of our fertilizer producers and farmers so they can do what they do best – feed this nation and the world.
