Respondents from B.C. and Nova Scotia were the most likely to back the rollout of a 'grocery code of conduct' meant to lessen the influence of major grocery chains and help independent operators.

More than a third of British Columbians believe grocery chains gouging them at the checkout is the main reason food prices have risen across the country in recent years, a recent poll has found.

“We continue to see records being broken literally every month,” said Boulter. “We’re up to 16,0000 lives covered each month.” Several MPs grilled executives over growing profit margins and new fees charged to suppliers during the pandemic. "It's not as though American grocers are taking advantage of Canadians and Canadian grocers aren't. The grocers are going to charge what they can get away with, what the market will bear," University of Toronto economist Ambarish Chandra told the Canadian Press shortly after the Walmart executive testified to the parliamentary committee.

Quebec and Saskatchewan were the only two provinces where respondents from the survey said price gouging wasn’t the number one reason for food price increases. Janet Music, research associate at the Agri-Food Analytics Lab, said consumer trust in a grocers' ethics, transparency and sustainability “will be even more critical going forward.”
