Mr. Speaker, almost nothing is more critical to the survival of one's own self and one's family than food. Yet the government frightened some people in Canada's Arctic on budget day by saying it was going to change the food mail program that people depend on, and the government did not even say what it was going to change it to. The government has left northerners anxious for almost two months about the fate of their food.
Now we hear that Canada Post has been told it will not be involved at all in the future.
Would the minister explain the mechanics of the new plan for delivering food to worried and vulnerable people in the Arctic?
