I think that everything is in place for the players to make a bigger impact. We need to send a message to business owners and major groups, such as Hotels Canada or hotel owner groups.
Unless our Prime Minister and public institutions demonstrate leadership and resolve at the grassroots level across all the sectors solicited, this commitment won't be taken seriously. People will continue to carry on as usual. This means that we'll need to keep working on a piecemeal basis and reaching out to try to convince them.
We currently have access to all National Hockey League arenas across the country. We just won the 2026 F1® Allwyn Global Community Award in recognition of our recovery efforts. We fed 50,000 people in four days by recovering 16 tonnes of food at the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal a few weekends ago. Events of this nature, where food is thrown away, are taking place all over the country right now.
So, if we don't send a clear message to event promoters to ensure that they implement these practices, if this isn't done at the highest levels of our country, which is demonstrating a serious national commitment to reducing food waste—we have the organizations to make this happen—then what are we waiting for?
We can't wait any longer. Food surpluses are extremely expensive. Through our program, it costs 25 cents to recover food. It costs La Tablée des Chefs 25 cents to deliver a meal to a frontline organization that serves homeless people to help families in need.
