MP Daryl Kramp agrees and says that is why he supporting the federal governments new bill “The Price Transparency Act.” It will give the Competition Commissioner the tools necessary to investigate alleged cases of price discrimination and publicly report to Canadians situations where consumers are unfairly targeted with higher prices. In 2013 the Standing Senate Committee on National Finance found country pricing by manufacturers as one the key causes of the Canada-U.S. Price Gap.
