It's back to work in Ottawa this week for M.P.'s.
John Barlow, the Conservative's shadow minister for agriculture and agri-ood says its good to be back, adding there's a lot of issues for the ag sector that need to be addressed.
He says first and foremost is the impact of the carbon tax for producers citing a report that came out late last year looking at the Canadian Food Index.
"That showed that once the Liberals and the NDP coalition triples the carbon tax, it will cost a Canadian farm family, an average 5000 acre farm about $150,000 a year. We know that's unsustainable. That will put farmers out of business, we will start losing operations".
