Mr. Speaker, that is an excellent question. Yes, there are concerns, but there are also great economic developments that are very encouraging for Canadians. Last month, the Canadian economy added 37,000 jobs. Unemployment is going down. Women's participation in the workforce is at an all-time high. What is more, we are attracting generational investments in the automotive, biomanufacturing and natural resources sectors. Canada is positioning itself as an economic leader in the 21st century.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his important question. National security concerns all parliamentarians. It is not a political matter, it is a matter of national interest. That is why we recently implemented restrictions to protect our scientists and research in Canada and, more recently, we blocked three transactions to protect Canada's critical minerals. We take national security very seriously, as all parliamentarians in the House should.

Mr. Speaker, there is no need to bring politics into something that concerns all Canadians. Everyone in the House wants to do their part to bring prices down for Canadians. I wrote to the Competition Bureau back in May of this year, asking it to use all the tools at its disposal to make sure that there were no unlawful practices in the market, and more recently I asked for an investigation. I spoke to the CEOs of a number of these chains around the country. Everyone needs to do their part to help Canadian families in times like these.
