Working the phones again today.
Really good to speak with Chris White from @CMCCVC, Phil Vanderpol from @DPAC_ATLC, Nathan Phinney from @CanCattle, and Martin Caron from @upaqc.
Just over 24 hours in the role, but there’s no time to waste and lots of work ahead. I’m focused on delivering results for our stakeholders — and supporting the 1 in 9 Canadian jobs that are driven by agriculture.

Aujourd'hui, mes homologues et moi avons annoncé que tous les grands détaillants, y compris Walmart et Costco, se sont engagés à adhérer au Code de conduite du secteur des produits d'épicerie.
C'est une bonne nouvelle pour le secteur, et pour la concurrence.

Today, I joined my provincial and territorial counterparts to announce that we have now received commitments from all major retailers, including Walmart and Costco, to join the Grocery Sector Code of Conduct.
This is good news for the sector, and for competition.

With the news that Loblaw is joining the Grocery Sector Code of Conduct, we call on the remaining large retailers to follow suit.
Until then, I’m looking at all available federal options.
Please see my statement with Minister @andrelamontagn2 : canada.ca/en/agriculture-agr…

Associations, (including FHCP) representing grocers, suppliers, and farmers are suggesting Loblaw's chairman Galen Weston misled the House of Commons committee on food prices in his statement on Dec. 7th. In a letter to committee chair, MP @KodyBloisNS, sent earlier today, they requested the committee disregard Weston's testimony on the grocery code of conduct. Weston claimed it would give too much power to suppliers, potentially raising prices like in Australia, but an Australian expert disputes this. #FoodPrices #Canada #Loblaw

Unraveling the Truth Behind Loblaw CEO's Australian Code Example
In a recent meeting with the standing agriculture committee, Loblaw CEO Galen Weston cited the Australian code of conduct as a justification for refusing to sign Canada’s proposed food industry code. He claimed that the Australian system favors suppliers in pricing disputes, leading to increased consumer costs, a concern he echoed for Canada.
However, experts familiar with the Australian code, challenged Weston's claims. They found his example misleading, as the Australian code does not include a price negotiation mechanism.
Chris Leptos, an Australian dispute resolution specialist, and Samantha Blake of the AFGC also refuted Weston's statements, clarifying that the Australian code does not inherently favor suppliers in price matters.

FHCP CEO @MGraydon_FHCP appeared on @CTVMorningLive earlier today to discuss the nearly complete Code of Conduct and its potential to stabilize the marketplace and have a deflationary effect on on-shelf prices, based on evidence from jurisdictions currently operating with a Code in place.
