Thank you, Chair.
I'm going to address my questions to you, Mr. Charlebois. I follow you, being from Atlantic Canada and living in a riding that consists of many farms. I'm always reading and seeing what you have to say.
Conflict and climate change are having major effects on inflation, as you said. They're also creating financial speculation in trading and grain futures, for example. I won't be as kind as you were in what you called them. The last farmer I spoke to called them grain pirates. That's how he referred to them. They're creating artificial inflation by doing this.
With everything that's happening right now, are high food prices here to stay, based on what we're seeing now?
