Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Mon. July 22nd, 2024

All of Canada’s major grocers have signed the Grocery Code of Conduct. Walmart and Costco, who were the remaining holdouts, finally joined the party last week. It creates new rules for grocery retailers, outlining the fees they can legally charge suppliers and explain how they can deal with various disputes. Does this level the playing field? Michael Graydon, the CEO of Canada’s Health and Consumer Products, has high hopes. He joins the show in Hour 1. Meantime, a group of older adults on Ambleside Drive are fed up over a lack of access to Canada’s health system. And as they dug deeper and deeper, they realized a lot of other people are in their position, a lot more than they ever imagined.
