Very strongly agree

No, incentivize foreign competitors, like Aldi, to enter the market instead.

Minister François-Philippe Champagne has explicitly and publicly reached out to international grocers to encourage them to enter the Canadian market to challenge the domestic 'Big Three'.

Strongly agree

Yes, but only if the Competition Bureau proves they are fixing prices.

This closely mirrors the intent of Bill C-56, the Affordable Housing and Groceries Act, which empowered the Competition Bureau to investigate and address anti-competitive practices.

Agree

No

While the government has introduced tougher regulations, they have not signaled an intent to break up companies, preferring to stimulate competition through other policy levers.

Disagree

No, breaking them up interferes with the free market and will lead to empty shelves.

The Liberal government has shown a willingness to intervene in the market through the Grocery Code of Conduct and regulatory changes, rejecting a purely laissez-faire approach.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The Liberal government has prioritized legislative reforms to the Competition Act to increase market transparency and fairness rather than direct, forced divestiture of grocery chains.

Strongly disagree

Yes, dismantle the oligopoly that is price-gouging Canadians.

This stance is more aligned with the NDP's platform; the Liberals typically favor regulatory oversight and market-based solutions over state-mandated dismantling of corporate structures.

Very strongly disagree

No, we should focus on axing the carbon tax to lower food costs.

Carbon pricing is a signature Liberal policy; the party consistently defends the tax against opposition claims that it is the primary driver of food inflation.
