Mr. Speaker, if the Prime Minister has nothing to hide, then he should just make the deal public. Loblaws and Metro just reported much higher profits than last year. Meanwhile, one in 10 Quebeckers is using food banks. This morning, we learned that grocery inflation outpaced headline inflation for the 23rd month in a row. Will the Prime Minister announce today the measures we have been calling for to lower the cost of groceries?

Right Hon. Justin Trudeau (Prime Minister, Lib.)

Mr. Speaker, we have long been concerned about the price of groceries. That is why the parliamentary committee and the minister convened the heads of the grocery chains to work with them to stabilize the price of groceries. We know how important it is to be there to support Canadians. I can assure hon. members that in the fall economic statement that we are presenting in a few hours, there will be measures to further enhance competition in the grocery sector in order to help people buy groceries and support their families during these difficult times.
