Mr. Speaker, we will not take lessons from the Conservatives. What the Conservatives are proposing to the Canadians who are watching today is to make cuts to services, investments and Canada's future. Canadians know that we have a plan to help them prosper in the 21st century economy. More importantly, Canadians realize that the Conservatives are too dangerous for this country, and they trust us to move forward.

Mr. Speaker, clearly the minister's plan to ask them nicely is not working. Let me summarize the situation. Earlier, the minister said that prices in the flyers are dropping but, now, he does not know how CEOs plan to stabilize prices because their plans are too secret. It is quite clear that the minister does not have a plan, so we are going to give him one. We have moved a new motion to force the CEOs of the big grocery stores to appear before the committee again. Will the government support it, yes or no?

Mr. Speaker, I am glad the leader of the NDP asked me that question. Not only is this what we proposed, but I even wrote to the committee chair asking him to invite the CEOs of Canada's major grocery store chains to come and explain their plan to Canadians. I am happy to answer his question, because we were the ones who asked the chair of the parliamentary committee to invite the CEOs to come and explain themselves to Canadians.
