and developing a formal action plan.
Supporting statement
“In April 2024, Bill 6971
[, an Act to combat waste,] was introduced in the National Assembly of Québec,
having the following key objectives:
 reducing food waste in Québec by half by 2030;
 requiring processors, distributors and retailers to enter into agreements for the donation of their
unsold, but still edible, products to organizations;
 establishing a public registry to list unsold products from manufacturers, distributors and retailers;
 prohibiting intentionally rendering unsold products unfit for consumption (for example, by spraying
garbage cans with bleach).
An investigation led by the Coops de l'information, published in April 20242
, revealed that the corporation’s
stores were throwing away tons of new products. Considering the importance the public places on the
responsible behaviour of top executives, we are submitting this proposal to minimize waste within
organizations.”
