Canadians have been facing soaring grocery prices in recent years. Marketplace asks: why are prices so high?

Plus, we ask the government when food will become more affordable for all Canadians. #Groceries #CostOfLiving #Marketplace producer/director JEREMY McDONALD associate producer TOMI RAJI editor FAZIELA HAFFEJEE reporter ROSA MARCHITELLI additional producing STEPHANIE KAMPF KERRY CAMPBELL camera NORMAN ARNOLD JOHN LESAVAGE JOE FIORINO YANJUN LI MIKE ZIMMER AARON ADETUYI art director DAVID ABRAHAMS additional footage INSTAGRAM social media producers DANNY BURKE CAROLINE GDYCZYNSKI HARPUNEET NIJJAR colour correction KYLE J.
