Sir, I would be happy to respond to you.

I would refer not just to me but to the Bank of Canada. The Bank of Canada said that carbon pricing might have a small impact on food-price inflation, less than 0.2%. That's not me, Mr. Perkins. You may not like my answers, but you at least have to like the answers sometimes provided by the Bank of Canada, Statistics Canada or the Competition Bureau. Those are facts, sir. I'm just referring to established facts that have been done by other agencies.

See context to find out what was said next.
