Canada’s leading grocery executives have committed to “support” the government’s initiatives aimed at controlling food prices, according to Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne. This commitment was made during a summit held in Ottawa, where the heads of Canada’s major grocery chains met with government officials. The meeting took place as the government returned to session and pledged to address affordability concerns among Canadians.
Champagne described the meeting as a historic occasion, bringing together the leaders of Canada’s largest grocery retailers. He stated that the meeting included challenging discussions but maintained a constructive tone. The executives from major grocery chains have agreed to collaborate with the Canadian government, marking a step toward achieving price stability in the country.
This development is seen as the beginning of ongoing efforts to address and stabilize food prices in Canada.
