Mr. Speaker, let me be perfectly clear that there is no food packaging tax in Canada. There is no industrial carbon tax on groceries. These are environmental and economic policies designed to cut pollution, protect health and support competitiveness.
Independent analysis confirms that food price inflation has been driven by global supply disruptions, not by federal climate measures. Abandoning policies would mean more pollution, more uncertainty and higher costs in the long run. Canadians deserve solutions grounded in evidence, not slogans, and that is what this government is continuing to deliver.
