However, it does open up the bigger conversation about many of the challenges that so many Canadians, in particular veterans, are facing when it comes to food insecurity, homelessness and, in particular, the cost of living associated with those things.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8790048\" data-originallang=\"en\">A comment was made yesterday by the <a data-HoCid=\"214296\" href=\"/politicians/justin-trudeau/\" title=\"Justin Trudeau\">Prime Minister</a> that inflation was down. Would the <a data-HoCid=\"311620\" href=\"/politicians/kevin-lamoureux/\" title=\"Kevin Lamoureux\">parliamentary secretary</a> acknowledge that is misleading, especially to individuals on fixed incomes, like pensioners?
