To the Legislative Assembly of Ontario: 

WHEREAS food prices are out of control, in part due to the allowance of grocery stores to use agreements that limit and block competition; and

WHEREAS Ontarians deserve access to food at fair, stable, and transparent prices; and

WHEREAS Bill 113, “Fair Prices and Tax-Free Groceries Act, 2026” would remove the HST from all food and beverages, including prepared meals, helping Ontarians save money immediately; and

WHEREAS Bill 113 would also strengthen competition by banning the use of restrictive agreements that limit and block competition;

We the undersigned petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as follows: Remove the HST From All Food and Increase Grocery Competition in Ontario.
