Madam Speaker, I appreciate the question, but the member just said herself that food prices are higher than they have ever been. It is just a coincidence then that the carbon tax has gone up 23%. The government is increasing taxes on farmers, truckers, processors, manufacturers, grocery store retailers, every other part of the supply chain, fertilizer and feed. All of those things have gone up because of the carbon tax, but it is just a coincidence that food prices are also at a record high.
In the House of Commons on June 13th, 2024. See this statement in context.
