'We also need structural change to address the root causes of the problem. In a country as wealthy as Canada, we can do much better,” Paul Berger said.
THUNDER BAY – Federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh continued his push to lower the cost of living by introducing a motion in the House of Commons on Tuesday that would lower the price of essential items at large corporate grocery stores.
“It's a troubling economic system that allows massive profits to be made on food while minimum wage is below a living wage and income support programs are drastically inadequate. In an interview with TBnewswatch on Tuesday, Singh said France introduced a cap on the price of essential items at the grocery store in 2023.
“They're frustrated. At the same time, they know that the CEOs of these companies are making a killing. They're making more money than ever – so people feel ripped off. On Tuesday afternoon, TBnewswatch contacted Patty Hajdu, MP for Thunder Bay – Superior North; Marcus Powlowski, MP for Thunder Bay – Rainy River, and Eric Melillo, MP for Kenora, by email to see if they would comment on the motion and how they would vote.
“Measures and legislation specific to grocers have been introduced including the Grocery Code of Conduct and the modernization of the Competition Act,” Hajdu said.
