Mr. Speaker, for months now, we have been suggesting something that will help bring down food prices: Axe the industrial carbon tax. Yes, it directly affects food. Food does not fall from the sky. It has to be produced, processed, transported and packaged. That is the reality. The Liberal industrial carbon tax applies to all that.
In fact, Professor Charlebois told a parliamentary committee yesterday that “the gap between food wholesale prices in Canada versus the U.S. have actually increased. We believe that one factor driving this is the carbon tax”.
The Liberals should give Canadians a gift and axe the industrial carbon tax—
