Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Once again, we are seeing the impact of food inflation on household incomes. We know new groups of people are feeling the pinch. Even working people can no longer make ends meet and have to seek assistance. Some schools have waiting lists for breakfast programs. Seniors on fixed incomes can no longer afford rent or food. In some cases, beyond having to turn to food assistance, they may even end up experiencing homelessness, whether hidden or visible. That's what happens when people don't have enough income to meet basic needs, such as adequate housing and food.
Let's talk more about how we can help you. Your breakfast club and your food bank are experiencing the impact of food inflation. Ms. Marin, you clearly demonstrated that in your master's research and in your call for an anti-food-waste policy. You touched on it with my colleague in the previous round. You've started seeing the impact. Is there anything else you'd like to add on that?
As you said, you've looked at what's happening elsewhere, in places like France. You talked about an approach that you think should be more incentive-based than punitive. Is there anything else you'd like to add on the subject of an anti-food-waste policy?
