Adjournment Proceedings
In adjournment proceedings, Conservative MP Grant Jackson pressed the government on food affordability and food production, saying Canada should grow more food to lower grocery prices. Parliamentary Secretary Jennifer McKelvie replied that affordability is a priority and pointed to measures including a cut to greenhouse growers’ taxes, more time for first-time homebuyers to repay Home Buyers’ Plan withdrawals, and a lower Canada Pension Plan contribution rate, and later said the government is developing a national food security strategy. Jackson responded that his question about food production had not been addressed and said the government lacks a plan in that area.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
