He made such a big deal out of his meeting with the grocery CEOs, and now Metro has admitted that it had zero impact on food prices. Any Canadian who has been watching food prices soar could have told the Liberal government that. Instead of standing up to CEOs, the minister has danced around price gouging for two years. The Liberal plan is not working.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8056979\" data-originallang=\"en\">With the holidays coming, prices are only going to get worse, so will the government support the NDP's bill to lower food prices and end the gouging?</p>",

Il a fait tout un plat de sa rencontre avec les PDG des cha\u00eenes d'alimentation, et maintenant Metro admet que cela n'a eu aucune incidence sur le prix des aliments. Tous les Canadiens qui ont vu le prix des aliments monter en fl\u00e8che auraient pu le dire au gouvernement lib\u00e9ral. Au lieu de tenir t\u00eate aux PDG, le ministre tourne autour du pot depuis deux ans. Le plan des lib\u00e9raux pour mettre un terme \u00e0 la manipulation des prix ne fonctionne pas.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8056979\" data-originallang=\"en\">\u00c0 l'approche des F\u00eates, les prix ne feront qu'augmenter. Le gouvernement appuiera-t-il le projet de loi du NPD visant \u00e0 r\u00e9duire le prix des aliments et \u00e0 mettre fin \u00e0 leur manipulation?</p>"
