• For the federal government to consider allowing farmers in the province of Alberta, who are registered with an Alberta Farm Fuel Benefit (AFFB) permit, to be automatically exempt from the Federal Fuel Charge without having to complete the Federal Fuel Charge Exemption (FFCE) Certificate for Farmers. This will save time and money on the part of the farmers, suppliers and the federal government by avoiding substantial administrative work. Or to postpone the implementation of the federal carbon tax of Jan 1, 2020 to ensure farmers have enough time to have their exemption permits processed.
