Madam Speaker, the member opposite and I served on the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food, so he knows we have some disagreements on this.
The Bank of Canada Governor recently said that carbon pricing contributed 0.15% to inflation. That is equivalent to about 15ยข on a $100 grocery bill. The European Central Bank has estimated that climate change contributes as much as 3% to the cost of food per year globally, which is three dollars on a $100 grocery bill. This means that climate change has 20 times the influence that the carbon price has on food prices.
If the member opposite really wants to fight inflation and is serious about it, then why does his party not have a plan to fight climate change?
