"According to a recent report from Celiac Canada, the cost of gluten-free food is 150 to 500 per cent more expensive than a normal gluten-containing diet in Canada."
As a person with gluten sensitivity, I can attest to the exorbitant cost of gluten free products! At Sobey's my bread is $10:29/loaf!

Quite frankly, it’s outrageous that Mark Carney is cutting Statistics Canada. If he was Stephen Harper or Pierre Poilievre, I feel like this would be getting a lot more backlash.
Carney of all people should know the importance of high-quality data and information about the country.
