Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome to the witnesses who are joining our committee.
I'm going to set some context, but the first questions are for both Mr. Thibault and Mr. Cope.
We learned through “Canada's Food Price Report” in 2022 that “lower-income households spend a higher proportion of their income on basic needs such as housing and food and will have a harder time maintaining their existing quality of life as costs go up.”
The question is, how do low-income households adapt their consumption habits when food prices increase?
Go ahead, Mr. Thibault.
