Food Affordability

A member’s statement on food affordability, focused on food prices in Canada’s Arctic. Bob Zimmer (Conservative) said prices have risen since the Prime Minister took office, citing high diesel prices as a factor, and gave examples including $18 milk in Inuvik and $97 for a pack of water in Tuktoyaktuk. He asked the Prime Minister to support the Conservative plan to remove all taxes on diesel to lower food prices.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
