Karen Proud appointed to oversee Canada's new grocery code of conduct, aiming for fairer dealings.

Canada's grocery code of conduct board has appointed Karen Proud as an adjudicator to oversee the implementation of the code, aimed at promoting fair dealings between grocers and suppliers. The code, set to be operational by June, will focus on penalties and fees, bringing more transparency and fairness to the food industry, according to the federal agriculture minister. Proud, former CEO of Fertilizer Canada, will begin her role on March 17 and will foster compliance, provide guidance, resolve disputes, and report on progress. The code does not address retail food prices.
