In my opinion, the issue is not even up for debate: the code won’t work without the mandatory participation of all industry players. Personally, I don’t see how a code could work without Walmart and Loblaws. We need some leadership from Ottawa and the provinces. In my opinion, it’s better not to have a code at all if Loblaws and Walmart don’t participate.
