Petition to the House of Commons
  Whereas:
  
    Due to changes in Canada’s relationship with the United States and other major trading partners, many Canadians wish to make purchase decisions based on where a product originates;
    Country of origin labelling is currently only required on a subset of products available to Canadian consumers;
    Country of origin information that is currently provided is inconsistent both in content and in format, with many labels being of such small print as to be ineffective;
    Country of origin information is often not available at all for products sold online; and
    Consumers are therefore unable to make informed purchase decisions, and may be misled by manufacturers and other producers;
  
  
    We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to require country of origin labelling of all food products and consumer goods sold in Canada, such labels to be clear, consistent, and easily understood by the average consumer, and such country of origin information to be visible and available regardless of whether the product is sold from a physical location or online.
