Whereas Ontarians have a right to make informed decisions about how they spend the money they've earned; and

Whereas price-gouging and price-fixing by large corporate retailers has been widely reported in recent years, particularly on essential goods and during times of economic uncertainty; and

Whereas Ontarians are increasingly choosing to support Ontario-made and Canadian-made goods over American products in response to Donald Trump's tariffs and threats to our sovereignty;

Therefore, in the opinion of the House, the Government must implement consumer protection measures including requiring big box stores to clearly identify when they raise prices by more than two per cent within a two-week period, when a product has been imported from the United States, and when products are made in Ontario and in Canada.
