Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland has stated that the Canadian government's aim is to Stabilize Prices as she begins a meeting with the CEOs of five major grocery chains. The meeting follows Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's announcement of affordability measures to address the rising cost of living and inflation. Trudeau has given the grocery chains until Thanksgiving to share their plans to stabilize prices, or else the government will take action, including possible tax measures. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has accused "greedy CEOs" of driving up the cost of groceries and plans to introduce legislation to prevent price-gouging. The Competition Bureau has also called for more competition in Canada's grocery sector.
