Thanks, Chair.
Mr. Giroux, it's always great to see you.
Recently, the "food professor" highlighted in a report how the carbon tax adds to the overall price of food because it increases costs down the supply chain. This is because there's a cascading effect, as we know. When there's a carbon tax on the farmer, there's a carbon tax on the transporter or trucker, and a carbon tax on the retailer selling the food. At the end of the day, it gets passed down to Canadians, who today are struggling more than ever to afford food, because the cost of food has gone up.
Mr. Giroux, would you agree that the carbon tax has increased the price of food for Canadians?
