Replying to Kevin Lamoureux (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, I wonder if my colleague can provide his thoughts on the important issue of the Canada groceries and essentials benefit program. As a nation, we are building a stronger and healthier country by taking many different initiatives, but we have not lost sight of the important issue of affordability, and the groceries and essentials benefit plays a critical role. Can the member provide his thoughts about having Canadians’ backs on the issue of affordability?”

Mr. Speaker, Claims · 102 wordscertainly, the groceries and essentials benefit is going to be a major benefit for Canadians. It is up to $1,890 for a family of four.¹ This is going to help with the high price of groceries right now, while we roll out our national food security strategy.² This gets to some of the more underlining, foundational things we need to change, like more competition in the sector and giving more resources to the Competition Bureau to allow that, and making sure that we are building up our domestic supply chains to ensure that we can get more local products on the shelves.
