Public Controversies
In 2023, while chairing the agriculture committee's study on food prices, Blois faced criticism for comments suggesting that high profits at major grocery chains were not the primary cause of food inflation. Opposition MPs and some media reports characterized his remarks as defending the grocery giants, which he denied, stating his comments were taken out of context. In 2021, Blois reportedly apologized for travelling to Prince Edward Island for a meeting related to his duties as parliamentary secretary for rural economic development. The trip occurred at a time when Nova Scotia's public health officials were advising against non-essential travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to public criticism.

Mr. Speaker, we have been focused on lowering costs for farmers. That is exactly why we have an action plan for reducing regulatory tape with the CFIA and the pesticides regulatory directorate. I do not know if the member shared that with the farmers in his constituency. I certainly have in my neck of the woods in Canada. The member talks about the importance of market access. I do not ever hear
Mr. Speaker, let me start by saying that, and this is certainly true on this side of the House, all members of Parliament know the important work that Canadian farmers do across the country.

Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Fisheries Mr. Speaker, thejust made it absolutely clear. Notwithstanding all the theatrics we have on that side from the member, we will always stand up for the Canadian fishery.

Mr. Speaker, the hon. member should be encouraging the members in his party. I think he would make a tremendous leader of the official opposition. He mixes important oratory skills with the ability to point to where the government is moving in the right direction, while keeping his obligation to the loyal official opposition to continue to push the government to do more. I would like to point
