He said that while significant progress on Code development has been achieved, discussion and development regarding aspects of it remain ongoing. “This includes staffing, structure and budget for a Grocery Code Adjudicator office, agreement regarding scope of what’s included within the Code and legal review of different aspects of the Code prior to completion.
In a joint statement, Agriculture Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau and Quebec Agriculture Minister Andre Lamontagne said the Code will be a critical step to furthering greater predictability, transparency and fair dealing in the food supply chain. The Code will help make Canada’s food supply chain more resilient by enhancing transparency, predictability and fair dealing,” the ministers said. The Code will benefit both the industry and consumers as well.
