Madam Speaker, the member speaks to the importance of food security and poverty elimination in Canada, which is a very valuable debate and something we should make time for in the House. He talked about Feed Ontario and various food security organizations and food banks. Then he immediately launched into his typical slogans on carbon pricing, although none of those food security organizations have mentioned carbon pricing or the elimination of a so-called carbon tax in their advocacy. They want more poverty reduction strategies. They have all acknowledged that the Canada carbon rebate reduces poverty; they also recognize that carbon emissions and climate change itself have an impact on food prices.
When will the Conservatives recognize that the Canada carbon rebate is supporting families in need? It is eliminating food security challenges in Canada. We need to fight climate change and lower emissions in order to ensure the long-term sustainability of food prices in Canada and around the world. If Conservatives are going to quote food banks and food security organizations, they ought to listen to what they are advocating for, which is poverty elimination, not carbon taxing.
