Summary
Bill 160, the Clear Grocery Pricing Act, is a private member's bill introduced in the Nova Scotia Legislature by Liberal MLA Derek Mombourquette on October 1, 2025. The bill aims to ensure that grocery stores display pricing information in a clear and transparent way for shoppers. The bill was introduced in the context of rising food costs and consumer concerns about confusing or misleading pricing practices at grocery stores. It is intended to make it easier for Nova Scotians to understand what they are paying for groceries before they reach the checkout. As a private member's bill, it was introduced by an opposition MLA rather than the governing party, and it is currently at the First Reading stage, meaning it has not yet been debated or passed into law.
