Statistics Canada says the latest Consumer Price Index is showing a 4.7 percent increase in costs due to things like gasoline and food prices. Doctor Sylvain Charlebois is a professor with Dalhousie's Agri-food Analytics Lab. And he points to the natural disaster in British Columbia as another pressure on our supply chain.
