E-petition
Initiated by Glenn Ross from Toronto, Ontario

Original language of petition: English

Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled

Whereas:
  • The cost of produce and other farm products are escalating past reasonable recovery of costs;
  • Farmers and other producers are not able to recover their increased costs from vendors;
  • Canada's major grocery chains are reporting record profits; and
  • Many Canadian farm products are being sold for less in the United States than in Canada.
We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to conduct public hearings into the practices of Canada's grocery chains and to hear submissions from farmers and producers as to the conditions imposed on them by the current practices of the Canadian supply system.
