Warren Steinley Conservative
“The government promised in 2024 that grocery prices would go down by Thanksgiving. They did not. I want the member to tell us if grocery prices have actually dropped since then.”
“Madam Speaker, I think my hon. colleague from Whitby got confused; I think he read a 2024 speech that he read a couple of years ago. I remember in this House when the now finance minister promised that grocery prices would be down by Thanksgiving and that was in 2024. Members will remember he called all the grocery CEOs together and said, “That is it. We are going to have lower grocery prices by Thanksgiving.” I am wondering if there are any updates to the member’s speech on whether grocery prices have lowered since 2024.”
