I'm alive to the testimony yesterday of the large grocers and the impact that food insecurity has on Canadians.
I've been to many northern communities where a small jar of peanut butter is $16, and that was before the inflation element. Being able to make choices about feeding your family a healthy diet is almost impossible in northern communities, yet things such as cigarettes and booze are often subsidized.
I think we need better subsidies to make sure people in northern Canada who are living in these other areas are not paying prices for groceries that we are not even glimpsing at here in southern Canada, even with inflation.
