Well, we said what government could do. We said that when we were summoned and we said it in the submissions we made. To get this code of conduct done is the first one. Get it done. Get it in place. It's taken way too long since we called for it three years ago.
We talked about over-regulation and labelling and packaging at a time when costs are rising. Front-of-pack labelling, nutritional labelling...these costs add up and go on the grocery bill. Although some of them may be important in the medium and the long terms, they do hurt consumers in the short term.
Strengthen the Canadian dollar so that Canadians can pay less for fresh goods.
Help fund national food rescue or food diversion programs.
Adopt food diversion through tax incentives for donations.
Ensure the potential downstream cost impacts of new policies and regulations on grocery prices are considered as part of the decision-making process of Parliament.
Amend part III of Schedule VI of the Excise Tax Act to ensure that fresh prepared foods such as salads are zero-rated.
Incentivize Canadian greenhouse farming to lower costs, shorten our supply chain and make us less dependent on other nations.
Those are a taste of some of the recommendations we have made. I don't know how many are under consideration by the government. Perhaps you could ask the government that, or Parliament. I'm not an expert on that.
