Mr. Speaker, the point that I think is still being missed by the government side of the aisle is that we cannot spend our way out of a deficit and a mounting debt problem. More and more money is flowing off the table. The member refers to the idea that we are giving more to programs so it should not be as bad, but the fact is, food prices continue to inflate. This is a basic human need. We have to make sure that we get this under control more than anything else, because Canadians need to eat and need to eat well. The whole thing about what we eat is a contribution to our lifestyle, both the quality of it and and how long we live.
This is something the Liberals have to get in front of. It is a fundamental indication of how we are doing as a society. We need to get better food to Canadians, make sure they can afford that food and make sure it is delivered without cost. Cutting the deficit is part of averting food inflation. Will you please get ahead of this inflation you are causing?
