The House of Commons Agriculture Committee has taken an all-party stand against two grocery giants that are resisting signing off on a new code of conduct, but MPs on the committee have not yet seen the full text of the code themselves, and the committee chair admits the move won’t be a “silver bullet” when it comes to high grocery prices.
He told that, based on other jurisdictions where similar codes have been implemented—such as Australia and the United Kingdom—he believes the code may lower prices, or at least “slow the speed they are raising at.” Perron pointed to the importance of protecting small suppliers under the code to ensure they “have a fair price for the product that they are selling … and they will stay in business for the next years.
