A House of Commons committee is asking the heads of Canada's major grocery chains to appear before MPs and explain their plans to stabilize food prices.
The agriculture committee passed an NDP motion on Thursday to invite the grocery executives, or summon them if necessary, to testify about the measures their companies are taking to address food inflation.
However, Champagne offered few details about these promotions and most grocers have not confirmed details of their plans. It is also inviting Champagne and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland to appear before committee to answer questions. A spokeswoman for Walmart said the company promised to continue offering "everyday low prices," which refers to its strategy of offering low prices on a regular basis, rather than on promotion only.
