Mr. Speaker, Parliament is rising for the summer with no progress by the Conservatives on northern issues. It is very distressing to know that many of the Nutrition North vendors are selling food not only with outrageous markups but that is past the best-before date, kind of like the Conservative government, I say. People in Nunavut and Labrador have been speaking out on this program for a number of weeks. I ask this: why are the Conservatives taking no action to improve food quality and affordability for the people of northern regions?
