Mr. Speaker, my hon. colleague is right. We need to focus on the real problem, which is government inflationary policy, if we want to fix this. The Liberals offer excuses, but Conservatives offer solutions.
A potato grown in B.C. faces the same climate change as the one grown in Idaho: same sun, same rain, same drought. However, the Canadian potato costs more because government policy adds costs at every step: fuel taxes, fertilizer taxes, packaging rules and transport costs. If climate change were the reason for our food inflation, then all the G7 countries would feel it the same, but instead, Canada has the worst food inflation in the G7. The weather, the climate, is global. The inflation is domestic.
