A Conservative motion highlighting food affordability and calling for the government to introduce a budget before the summer failed after the NDP and Liberals voted against it.

A total of 141 Conservatives and 21 Bloc Québécois MPs voted in favour of the motion but 166 Liberal MPs, seven New Democrat MPs, and the lone Green MP voted against it. Two Conservative and two Liberal MPs also paired their votes and cancelled each other out, leading to a total of 162 votes in favour and 174 votes against the motion.
