Madam Speaker, I will reject elements of that because I can watch the supply chain work. Let us take a chicken barn producing chickens. It takes diesel to transport them to the processor and the grocery store at very high prices. People are then putting that chicken back on the shelf because they cannot afford it and are trying to make tough decisions about what healthy food to put on their children's plates. It is directly impacting everybody across Canada, at any income level. Those with the lowest incomes who are facing high food prices are making difficult choices for their children.
