Before we get started, I just want to give a notice of motion. We won't get into a debate on it today.
In light of recent news about a Montreal food bank having to call in police officers to deal with hundreds of additional Montrealers seeking food, and given that we know the carbon tax does have an effect contributing to food insecurity and that food insecurity is indeed a public safety issue in this country, I'm just going to put on notice my motion that we report to the House to spike the hike and axe the tax so we can bring food prices down, so that police can deal with the very real issues that we've talked about in this committee instead of having to go to food banks to provide crowd control for the hundreds and thousands of hungry Canadians who are using food banks in this country.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
