OTTAWA, Oct 5 (Reuters) - The five major grocery chains
operating in Canada have made an initial commitment to help
stabilise food prices, Innovation Minister Francois-Philippe
Champagne said on Thursday.
    Champagne said Canadians would soon see discounts on a
number of food products, as well as price freezes. The Liberal
government, under political pressure to tackle high inflation,
has given the five chains until Monday to come up with a plan to
curb food prices.
