I have a lot of empathy for these people. We do in fact work closely with food banks, in both Quebec and Ontario. Metro has been a major food bank partner for a very long time. Demand has been stronger for the past two years, which we find highly regrettable, and this has led us to make some much larger donations.
The food bank clientele has been changing. Food insecurity is a major societal issue. There are many reasons for this and they go well beyond grocery prices. There is the cost of housing, interest rates, and so on; you know them better than I do. The government may have a role to play in countering food insecurity.
From where we stand as an industry stakeholder, we are striving to keep prices as low as possible across all our banners. We are opening discount stores. We're doing everything we can to meet continually changing customer needs.
