A new Conservative government will cancel Mark Carney’s new Liberal packaging law that will make food even more expensive. The proposed Liberal packaging requirements will raise the cost of fresh produce by as much as 34% and cost the average Canadian household an additional $400 each year.

Additionally, we will:

• Scrap the Liberal plastics ban, including the ban on straws, grocery bags, food containers and cutlery, and other single-use plastics, letting consumers and businesses choose what works for them.
• Protect restaurants, grocers, and low-income Canadians from one-size-fits-all packaging rules that disproportionately affect those who can least afford it.

The Liberals’ ideological crusade against convenience has already driven up food prices and the last thing Canadians need is Mark Carney’s new food tax that will be added directly to your grocery bill.

The choice for Canadians is clear, a fourth Liberal term that will make food even more expensive.

Or a new Conservative government that will axe the food tax and bring back straws, grocery bags and other items, to make life more affordable and convenient for Canadians – For a Change.
