In 2019, the Liberals faced heat from Conservatives after the government announced it was giving $12-million to Loblaw for energy-efficient refrigerators and freezers
The money came from the Liberal government’s low-carbon economy fund, which is meant to support projects that will reduce greenhouse-gas emissions.
Newly released data from Environment and Climate Change Canada show Costco was also given more than $15 million for efforts to reduce emissions, including new fridges.The payments were made to the two grocery chains between 2019 and 2023. “It’s shocking albeit unsurprising that Jagmeet Singh, the junior coalition partner in Justin Trudeau’s costly Liberal-NDP majority government, provided tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to massive grocery chains that are making billions off Canadians while they are struggling to put food on the table,” said Sebastian Skamski, a spokesperson for Tory Leader Pierre Poilievre.
