Mr. Speaker, grocery prices in Montmorency—Charlevoix are skyrocketing.
To understand this phenomenon more clearly, I called Simon Plante of Polyculture Plante, on the Île d'Orléans, the 2024 winner of Quebec's award for outstanding young farmers. This young man knows his stuff. He told me that the red tape is overwhelming. New regulations come out every year. Transportation costs are exploding. The carbon tax is pushing up costs. As a result, farmers and families are paying the price.
Will the Liberals support our plan to cut taxes and cut red tape to make food affordable?
