Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. La Flèche, the situation is very difficult in some neighbourhoods, including La Petite-Patrie, which I represent. The other day I attended a spaghetti dinner organized by people in the neighbourhood to raise funds on behalf of the local food bank. Every month this year, 870,000 Quebeckers went to food banks, which means one out of every 10 people. That's an increase of 30% over 2022. It's terrible.
Today, we are telling you that your practices haven't changed since the meeting with the minister, Mr. Champagne, that the code of conduct will not lead to transparency and although it might perhaps boost consumer confidence, it won't have any impact on prices.
From that standpoint, how are people who are struggling going to be able to keep hoping that they'll be able to feed themselves properly?
