OTTAWA – On Wednesday, NDP Food Price Inflation critic Alistair MacGregor tabled a bill in parliament to create a National Food Cooperative Strategy, which would give support to small and medium-sized grocers, ramp-up competition, and lower food prices.
And the supplier market. I recently watched an interview with the rep of independent grocers in Canada. He said that independent grocers often have to buy from Loblaw and Co since they’re now suppliers too.
