moved for leave to introduce Bill C-226, An Act to establish a national framework to improve food price transparency.
Mr. Speaker, it is a privilege to introduce my private member's bill, an act to establish a national framework for food price transparency.
This bill is putting Canadians first. It is about empowering consumers every time they shop. The bill would ensure that all families have fair prices for the quantity of product they buy at their local supermarkets. By implementing unit pricing across the country, Canadians will have the tools to compare prices, make informed choices and save money.
As a member of Parliament, it is my responsibility to promote fairness and make life more affordable. I urge all members of the House to do the same by supporting this bill and by standing with Canadians.
