Thank you for the question.
What we've noticed over the last few months is that a lot of attention is given to the CPI. I think it's really the wrong focus. We need to focus on the IPPI, the industrial product price index. If you look at pricing over the last, say, three or four years, the IPPI has outpaced the CPI in food. It means that pressures are real across the supply chain, particularly in processing, transportation and logistics.
I think that's where we need to focus, which is why I think it's important to pause—not to eliminate but to pause—the carbon tax in order to better appreciate what is happening with the food industry. I talk to companies and even restaurants, and they're feeling the pressure. It's never been measured. Measuring the effects of the carbon tax on retail is impossible because of all of us. Consumers impact prices every single day. It cannot be measured.
