3-Month Extension Secured: Bill 72 Delivers Key Wins for Retailers on Consumer Protection and Pricing 

October 29, 2024

The clause-by-clause study of Bill 72 concluded on October 23, 2024 with a significant victory for retailers. In response to Conseil canadien du commerce de détail’s request, the minister and parliamentarians approved a vital 3-month extension, granting a six-month implementation period instead of three. Additionally, retailers will benefit from greater flexibility in product information placement. Only in Quebec, penalties for pricing inaccuracies will increase from $10 to $15.
