I've tabled a bill that if passed would make food more affordable in two easy ways:
1. Remove the HST from all food including prepared foods and beverages at the checkout
2. Ban large grocery stores from using secret agreements in leases that block competitors from opening up nearby and selling items for less
My bill would help ensure people have access to food at fair, stable and transparent prices.
If you agree, please sign and share the petition below!
TO THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF ONTARIO:
WHEREAS food prices are out of control, in part due to the allowance of grocery stores to use agreements that limit and block competition; and
WHEREAS Ontarians deserve access to food at fair, stable, and transparent prices; and
WHEREAS Bill 113, 'Fair Prices and Tax-Free Groceries Act, 2026' would remove the HST from all food and beverages, including prepared meals, helping Ontarians save money immediately; and
WHEREAS Bill 113 would also strengthen competition by banning the use of restrictive agreements that limit and block competition;
WE, THE UNDERSIGNED, petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario to: remove the HST From All Food and Increase Grocery Competition in Ontario.
