Based on the search results, this claim is ACCURATE.

Reasoning:

• Liberal MP Adam van Koeverden, who serves as Secretary of State (Sport), explicitly stated in the House of Commons on January 27, 2026: "Farmers in my riding recognize that climate change is the leading impact on food cost inflation right now"¹.
• In another statement on February 26, 2026, van Koeverden said: "All the research indicates that 85% of food inflation is due to imported factors like war, tariffs and extreme weather due to climate change, something Conservatives refuse to acknowledge and do not believe in"².
• He further elaborated that "Farmers know that the leading cause of crop yields being more challenging and less reliable, and food costs going up, is climate change"¹.
• These statements are part of parliamentary records and are publicly available through official sources like openparliament.ca¹².

The claim accurately reflects van Koeverden's public statements in the House of Commons where he has directly attributed food price inflation to climate change, while also noting that other factors like war, tariffs, and extreme weather play a role.

Overall validity: 100%
