I'll take that to mean that bankers and bond holders will once again get more money in interest payments on this government's debt, from Canadian taxpayers, than what goes to health care transfers.
Minister, in September 2023, you made a big spectacle. You were going to haul in all the grocery store CEOs, and you claimed that, by Thanksgiving 2023, grocery prices would come down. Two years later—it's almost Thanksgiving 2025—grocery inflation has skyrocketed due to Liberal grocery tax, other taxes and the amount of money that you guys spent. On top of all that, we see that overall grocery price inflation has increased to almost 7%. Ground beef is up 30% since then; apples are up almost 40%; tomatoes are up 15%; chicken is up 20%. Food prices are rising 50% faster in Canada than in the U.S.
When will food prices and grocery prices come down?
