Mr. Speaker, I rise on the same point of order. I just wanted to make a point that the New Democratic Party would like to reserve the right to come back to speak to this issue at a later date.

Mr. Speaker, rising food prices are putting pressure on families. Edmonton's Food Bank has had to cut the amount of food in its hampers by 25% to meet demand, and 40,000 Albertan kids who get lunch at school will go without once the school rises for the summer. Grocery CEOs are making millions in surplus profits, and the government is doing nothing to help Canadians. While the Prime Minister and the leader of the official opposition have private chefs and fridges full of food, Canadian children are going hungry. When will the Prime Minister finally start tackling corporate greed and implement a windfall tax?
