Replying to Eric Lefebvre (Conservative)

“Mr. Chair, I would like to know where the minister does his shopping, because at the IGA this morning, a pound of butter was $8.99. I will follow up with another simple question. How much does a two-litre carton of milk currently cost in Quebec? Can the minister tell us the price of milk?”
