A recent announcement from both the federal and all provincial government could symbolize a big step forward in food security.
this statement from Statement from Federal, Provincial and Territorial Ministers of Agriculture notes that all major retailers have joined the Grocery Sector Code of Conduct.
This includes Loblaw, Sobeys, and Metro, and most recently, Walmart and Costco.
The goal of this grocery sector code is to bringing more fairness, transparency, and predictability to Canada’s grocery supply chain and for consumers.
This code is expected to be in place federally by 2025 to support Canadians with fair, and equitable grocery prices.
