Cost of Food
During Statements by Members, the cost of food was raised. Marc Dalton of the Conservatives said grocery prices are putting a strain on Canadians, citing a Dalhousie University survey finding that one in three Canadians is drawing on savings or borrowing money to buy food. He noted food bank visits have more than doubled since 2019, reaching 2.5 million visits in a single month, and attributed the situation to government spending, saying Canadians need a government focused on making life more affordable.Written by AI from the debate.
