There are several things I can say.
At a committee meeting—I think it was at the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food—even the president of Costco said that climate change had the greatest impact on the cost of food, not industrial carbon pricing.
I want to start by saying that, when the cost of food goes up, a lot of people in the industry say it's because of climate change. However, when it comes to industrial pricing, a report from the Canadian Climate Institute gives really good examples of how little impact it has on the cost of food.
I'm very happy to provide the committee with a copy of that report, because I think it's important. There's a lot of misinformation about why food prices are going up. It's not industrial carbon pricing. However, if we do nothing, climate change will have the greatest impact.
