Grocery Industry

During question period on the grocery industry, the NDP asked the government to ban surveillance pricing at grocery store checkouts, arguing grocery companies should not be allowed to use shoppers’ data against them and noting the spring economic statement as an opportunity to act. The Liberals replied that they support competition because it lowers prices, said they would be firm on competition policy, raised concerns about allegations that algorithms are being used to set prices, and said they would work with provinces and territories to protect consumers.Written by AI from the debate.
