Original language of petition: French
Petition to the Government of Canada
- Our entrepreneurs who are dedicated to reducing waste need support;
- Quebec has set environmental targets, and to reach them, we need everyone to pitch in;
- According to a Léger Marketing survey, 93% of respondents think that waste management is a major issue that needs to be addressed quickly;
- Entrepreneurs who own eco-friendly neighbourhood grocery stores are not only making waste reduction a priority, but also investing their time and money to support the cause;
- Entrepreneurs who own eco-friendly neighbourhood grocery stores act as a catalyst, giving regular citizens a more tangible way to do their part;
- The pandemic has had, and continues to have, a significant impact on their ability to support the cause, and that the economic challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic that they are facing are both very real and very serious;
- Some have had to close their doors, while others are dealing with significant personal issues and supply issues; and
- Doing nothing is not an option, since we need them and they are agents of change in our communities and we need to support them.
