We know that some of the food that is sold in our grocery stores is impacted by the American tariffs. While we have no tariffs on food, sometimes through their supply chain, they will go from Brazil or Asia to the U.S. and then from the U.S. to here. When the goods enter the U.S., they are tariffed. The tariffs are included in the prices. Then they come to Canada. That's a problem.
We also need to make sure that we increase our food processing and production in Canada. We need to be much more sovereign when it comes to our food production. That will decrease the cost of food, and it will also create good jobs. That's why we have more funding in the strategic response fund to attract investments.
My team and I are in conversations with companies these days to make sure that is the case.
