Perrin Beatty discusses the business community’s reaction the government’s proposed legislation on price discrepancies between Canada and the U.S. CTV's interview with Perrin starts at 10:07.
It seems like all our lives, prices have been lower in the U.S. than at home. People on the border drive across to buy groceries and gas. The rest of us splurge during occasional shopping trips. Even when the Canadian dollar was just 63 cents in the U.S., people still sought bargains across the line.
Today, in tabling the legislation, the federal government announced it has had enough. Canadian consumers are tired of higher prices and now a government bureaucracy is finally going to get into action.
