Mr. Speaker, all summer long Inuit across the north and here in Ottawa have protested the high food prices. Those prices are about to get worse.
On October 1, non-perishable foods will no longer be considered for subsidy under the nutrition north program. This is going to push the prices of already expensive food even higher.
Will the minister admit that this program is not working for people in the north and commit to keeping the current list of foods on the subsidy list?
