Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My thanks to the witnesses for answering our questions.
Mr. Read, you mentioned that the price of certain cuts of beef is sometimes very high and that it might be a problem for consumers.
My riding of Beauport—Limoilou is an urban one, right in Quebec City. When I go grocery shopping with my wife and people recognize me, they generally talk to me about two things: first, the weather and then the price of food. The price of food in general is one of the questions that concerns my constituents a lot. Now, the Canfax data tells us that the retail price of beef is going up while demand is going down.
Can you explain that to me? Then I might perhaps be able to give my constituents a reasonable answer.
