For those that seek a future that brings together the best of the insights and objectives of people who, within the social democratic and democratic socialist traditions, have worked through farmer, labour, co-operative, feminist, human rights and environmental movements, and with First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples, to build a more just, equal, and sustainable Canada within a global community dedicated to the same goals.

I've tabled a bill that if passed would make food more affordable in two easy ways:

Remove the HST from all food including prepared foods and beverages at the checkout
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.
