Mr. Speaker, there are a whole bunch of things going on when we talk about the inflation of food prices. For example, in the United States, 20% of the market share of groceries is with Walmart. That is a lot, right?
In Canada, 43% is with Loblaws. When we start to develop these monopolies and other practices, we are going to naturally start to see anti-competition acts that will inflate the prices. Yes, we can point to that. We can also point to the global impacts of what is going on. Ukraine produces 15% of the world's grain, what happens when that all of a sudden stops? That is going to increase the price.
Conservatives want people to believe that it is just a price on pollution that is contributing to it. Sure, that is their angle. They have been at it for months and months now, but I think the vast majority of Canadians realize that these situations involve more complex variables and it is not as simple as their one-liners and three-word slogans they spout out so much.
