Mr. Speaker, I am always entertained by my colleague's speeches, and I love the work he does on the industry committee. I would like him to comment, though, in keeping with the theme that he was just asked about, on this morning's industry committee. We had the person known as the “food professor” appear, Professor Charlebois from Dalhousie University, from the great province of Nova Scotia, which I know the Deputy Speaker loves dearly.
Professor Charlebois outlined a very shocking stat in his latest report, which is that 46% of Gen Z are emptying their savings or borrowing money to pay for food. That is an astounding number. For millennials who have families and mortgages, that number is 35%, and he said it is growing quite a bit.
What does the member think might have caused that situation?
