Mr. Speaker, the B.C. Centre for Disease Control revealed today that it now costs over $1,200 a month for a basket of nutritious food for the average family in that province. It is an explosion of costs that have taken place under the Prime Minister.
Those numbers come from a year ago, and the same report says that prices are higher now. Now the Prime Minister's solution for that is a 61ยข-a-litre carbon tax that will push gas prices well over two dollars a litre and increase the cost to farmers and truckers who bring us our food.
How much will that increase the cost of food for Canadians?
