Mr. Speaker, under the Prime Minister, food prices have skyrocketed by 7.3%. Canada is now the food inflation capital of the G7.
This is a made-in-Canada problem. Seventy per cent of all food is produced domestically. We produce 80% of our processed foods.
Conservatives have a food affordability plan to remove hidden Liberal taxes on food, such as the industrial carbon tax on farm equipment, fertilizer and food processors. Let us get rid of the fuel standard tax on farmers, truckers and those who bring our food. Let us dump the food packaging tax, which costs Canadians $1.3 billion annually. Our plan reduces taxes affecting the price of food. It restores nutritious, affordable meals for Canadians.
Will the Prime Minister work with us to achieve this goal? Canadians want to know.
