Other policies announced (from the article):
- Enforce a mandatory “Grocery Code of Conduct” in an effort to regulate pricing practices and prevent wage cuts;
- Provide the Competition Bureau powers to act as “a grocery price watchdog” to get tougher on price fixing;
- Tax the windfall profits of major grocery retailers such as Loblaws, Walmart and Costco; and
- Reform the federal Nutrition North program, “so the subsidy goes directly to northerners—not to corporate chains.”
