“The Prime Minister announced a new food plan yesterday. It will help grow and process more food in Canada, cut rules, and bring down grocery prices.”

“Mr. Speaker, I have some good news for my colleague. Yesterday, the Prime Minister announced Canada’s national food security strategy. This strategy is built on four key pillars: investing in our regional food infrastructure to increase choice and competition, processing more food here in Canada, increasing year-round production of fruits and vegetables, and cutting red tape. That is how we will put more Canadian food on the table and bring down the cost of groceries.”

“We will spend $1 billion to process more food in Canada instead of sending it abroad. This will lower grocery prices and put more Canadian food on store shelves.”

“Mr. Speaker, my colleague is well aware that the national food security strategy will lower the cost of groceries. More specifically, we will invest $1 billion to boost food processing here in Canada. Right now, we are sending our agricultural products abroad for processing. Now, we will invest in this sector. That will give Canadians more choice, put more Canadian foods on grocery stores shelves and make groceries a lot more affordable for Canadian families.”
