布魯斯·科克倫(Bruce Cochrane)寫道，重要農業生產者聯盟(Keystone Agricultural Producers)正在向加拿大曼尼托巴省政府呼籲，為農戶在碳定價稅收體系中提供一定的免稅額，並使用從其他溫室氣體排放者徵收的農業碳排放稅，進行再投資。為了回應聯邦政府在去年秋天發出的通告，即所有省必須在2018年底制定一個合適的碳定價體系，否則聯邦政府將強制對其實施一碳定價體系，曼尼托巴省政府正在與利益相關者一同協作，研究出一個合理的碳定價體系。重要農業生產者聯盟總經理James Battershill在曼尼托巴省豬肉協會舉辦的六月地區意見指導會上告訴在場的諸位：「組織正在要求政府，對農戶做出讓步。」
