I feel that public institutions have a role to play in this. We have seen many regulations introduced. Some of them would increase not reduce food waste. Part of that is its interpretation, as well as the lack of coordination among the different regulations at the different levels of government.
Yes, I see that public institutions have an important leadership role to play. The figure you mentioned, that 51%, is based on estimates because we don't have hard, objective numbers about the amount of food wasted in Canada.
The overall $27 billion we estimated does not include sectors such as seafood. The overall real number, and then the value of knock-on effects, is far greater than $27 billion. The fact that 51% of waste at the consumer level is partly an outcome of the way the rest of the industry operates.
