On February 3, Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre said in the House of Commons that “Canadians deserve to have a full stomach, a full fridge, and a full bank account, all at once.” He went on to offer his theory that Canada has the highest food inflation in the G7 due to the industrial carbon tax and fuel taxes. He asked Prime Minister Mark Carney for his theory. The Prime Minister responded that the Canadian Climate Institute “estimated the impact of the industrial carbon tax on food prices as approximately zero.”
