After two years of work, the group responsible for developing the grocery code of conduct says its launch is being held back by a lack of support from all the major grocers.
The interim board sent a progress report to the federal, territorial and provincial agriculture ministers on Wednesday.
“There is a concern that without the full participation of all major grocers, the implementation of the Code would create an unlevel playing field and put affected stakeholders at a competitive disadvantage,” the report reads.
