Mr. Speaker, we need measures that have an impact and produce concrete, long-term results, because the situation is getting worse.
When I was doing my grocery shopping this weekend, the grocery store manager came up to talk to me. He was discouraged. He told me that moms and dads are now the ones stealing food. That is how bad things have gotten. The Retail Council of Canada has confirmed this, stating that nine billion dollars' worth of food is stolen from grocery stores.
When will the government implement concrete measures to combat food inflation in the long term?
