Mr. Speaker, seven million Canadians are struggling now because they have to use food banks. The price of food is going to up by $700 next year just to put food on the table. In committee this morning, the Walmart CEO said that he is not supporting a stronger Competition Bureau. Maybe that is why the Leader of the Opposition did everything he could to block the legislation. Galen Weston, as we all know, earns 431 times what his average employee makes and thinks that his $12-million bonus was reasonable. What is the Prime Minister going to do to bring down grocery prices and end the free ride for these CEOs?

Mr. Speaker, I am pleased that the minister also wants answers from the president and CEO of CBC/Radio-Canada, but I would remind the minister that it is her responsibility to appoint the CEO. Ms. Tait's 18-month tenure was supposed to focus on combatting disinformation. However, she is doing the opposite. The loss of 600 jobs will mean less news. We need to send a clear message. There should have been zero layoffs announced on Monday, not 600. No layoffs should have been announced, or maybe just one. If Catherine Tait does not back down on those cuts, will the minister fire her?
