Mr. Speaker, it is true that gasoline is not just for private individuals. It is also used throughout the supply chain. If we reduce the price of a litre of regular gasoline by 10¢ and the price of a litre of diesel by four cents, it will undoubtedly have an impact on grocery prices. This has already been mentioned. The entire logistics chain and the transportation of goods will be affected.
The current conflict in the Middle East was not started by us, but it has direct repercussions here in Canada, but not just in Canada. It has repercussions all over the world. The ongoing conflict has driven up the price of oil, and whether we like it or not, this is increasing the cost of supplies.
