Thank you.
We heard the term “homegrown inflation” used earlier.
I met recently with Emily O'Brien, who founded Comeback Snacks, which is a gourmet popcorn company with a purpose. I didn't realize that sunflower oil is used to make popcorn and that it comes from Ukraine. She's had trouble getting sunflower oil. In the U.S., the corn crops now have been turned to sunflowers to meet the demand for sunflower oil, so she has had difficulty not only in getting sunflower oil but also in getting the corn to make the popcorn. She is concerned that she's going to have to raise her prices.
All of those are events that have happened beyond our borders, so when we talk about homegrown inflation, I'm wondering, is Canada the only country being impacted by inflation? How do we compare with other countries, such as the U.S., the U.K., the EU and others?
