Burnaby South MP and NDP leader Jagmeet Singh was in Coquitlam today, July 8, 2024, to speak about the rising cost of groceries in Canada. His party's motion to force lower grocery bills was rejected last month.
The leader of Canada’s NDP walked into Real Canadian Superstore in Coquitlam, bought a bottle of olive oil and a bag of apples and held them up before media today, July 8, to show how much two basic grocery items cost.
The June 5, 2024, proposal, which was opposed by Coquitlam–Port Coquitlam Liberal MP Ron McKinnon, reads: — Tri-City News July 8, 2024 Since 2021, grocery bills have spiked around the world because of geopolitical threats, climate change and inflation. In Canada, there’s also a lack of competition among grocers.
The NDP pointed to a recent Statistics Canada’s report showing that between April 2021 and April 2024, grocery prices skyrocketed by 21.4 per cent — well above inflation.
