Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled
- There is growing concern among Canadian citizens regarding the exploitative marketing, pricing, and unfair practices employed by large food retailers;
- The monopolistic behavior of large food retailers, including Loblaws, grants them excessive power in the market to dictate terms to suppliers and set prices, thus stifling competition; and
- Essential goods are becoming less affordable, particularly impacting low and middle-income families, persons with disabilities, and fixed-income households.
