That's right, Minister. During discussions about food inflation here and in the House, people have often mentioned rapidly rising meat prices, for example. However, I'm sure everyone is aware of the fact that higher meat prices are essentially a supply issue. There's a meat shortage. Because of climate change and very precarious conditions in recent years, especially in western Canada, herds have shrunk dramatically. What can we do? If there are no cows, there are no cows. Essentially, certain circumstances and elements have a disproportionate impact on the total price.
You mentioned something earlier that I think is very important. When we look at all this, we see that food inflation is largely due to the prices of about four or five products.
