Mr. Speaker, food inflation is up another 4% because of the Liberals' hidden industrial carbon tax and tax on food packaging. The Liberals would like to say that these are just imaginary taxes, but experts at the agriculture committee yesterday confirmed that not only are these taxes not imaginary but that they are also in fact driving up the price of groceries. Dr. Sylvain Charlebois said that wholesale food prices have increased, and that one of the factors driving this is the carbon tax. He said that he is very concerned and that he expects food inflation to be a problem moving forward.
Will the Prime Minister stop his inflationary budget and scrap his taxes on food so Canadians can afford to feed their families?
