the most transformational moments in Canadian grocery business history The 61-year-old is three years into his term as Quebec’s Minister of Agriculture and has in the past year become one of the leading politicians behind a high-profile probe of the national food chain food processors and multinational consumer product manufacturers have complained their businesses are being put in jeopardy by unfair penalties and fees charged by supermarket chains Suppliers say they have no choice but to pay the fines since they can’t afford to be shut out of any of the big chains which together make up about 80 per cent of sales But top trade groups and leaders in the industry are now in mediation to develop new rules that would rein in the power of the big grocers and overhaul how food is brought to market There is a long list of reasons and people behind why that’s happening but many suggest that one major force is Lamontagne André Lamontagne was a licensed helicopter pilot who owned a helicopter refurbishing business he read future Quebec Premier Francois Legault’s book He read it again while away on a holiday that Christmas and called a good friend who knew Legault personally I really need to get in touch with this guy,” he told the friend Lamontagne figured he could help as a sort of adviser as a whatever.” He had owned three supermarkets worked as an executive coach and an angel investor The friend put in a word for Lamontagne and Legault called him about a month later under the impression he wanted to be a candidate The two met in person and Lamontagne talked about the ways he thought he could help the upstart Coalition Avenir Quebec I want you to be a candidate,” Lamontagne recalled He promised to give Legault a response by the next day then went home to his wife and two daughters had come through cancer treatment the year before and there must have been something about his smile he asked you to be a candidate,'” Lamontagne recalled Lamontagne was so passionate about his province that Kristine liked to call him Captain Quebec around the house with the girls Lamontagne was elected in the riding of Johnson Kristine’s cancer came back later that year Another provincial election was coming the following year “I just had lost my wife and I was 58,” he said But it was the sort of work that had “the opportunity to make a difference for lots of people” in the province it’s very important I’m at peace every day with who I am and what I do when Legault and the CAQ ascended to power one of the most anticipated events in the Canadian food world came at a July meeting of the FPT — industry jargon for a semi-annual congress of agriculture ministers from the federal This particular FPT meeting unveiled a much-talked-about report on the fees and fines charged to food producers that had driven years of infighting within the grocery industry Lamontagne and federal Agriculture Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau including product promotions and penalizing late or incomplete shipments because even the most minor hiccup at a grocery chain’s distribution centre can cause serious knock-on effects Suppliers argued that the few dominant grocers were treating the fees and fines as a revenue source rather than a deterrent Yet they had to pay up since they couldn’t afford to risk being cut off or “delisted” as retribution legislators took notice and Lamontagne emerged from a closed-door FPT meeting in July with a public warning to the industry: Fix this The industry had less than six months to get its act together Some trade groups had already argued that the best solution would be a code of conduct similar in style to one used in the United Kingdom which has rules and an enforcement body that successfully reined in the bully tactics once rampant in that country’s supermarket business But retailers had resisted such suggestions representatives from some of the top food business groups have started working with a professional mediator to develop a code and meet the year-end deadline director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University in Halifax if you would have asked me if we are going to see some kind of code of conduct in Canada Online grocery shopping was one reason things came to a head during the pandemic Canadians had been comparatively cool to the idea but the risk of catching COVID-19 quickly changed their minds Grocers had to drastically ramp up their e-commerce operations to keep pace with a surge in demand for curbside pickup and home delivery the fourth-largest grocery operation in Canada in the summer of 2020 announced it was spending $3.5 billion on a five-year modernization plan in part to stay on top of online grocery orders that had doubled or even tripled in some regions Walmart argued the new fees — up to 6.25 per cent of the cost of goods — were “fair and reasonable,” since the upgrades would ultimately benefit suppliers by generating higher sales it was very easy to understand what was happening.” Loblaw started charging a similar style of fee asking its suppliers to help cover a $6-billion upgrade of its stores and e-commerce operations Canada’s second-largest grocery chain and owner of Sobeys and Safeway among others chief executive Michael Medline publicly criticized the new fees as “repugnant” and said relationships in the business were the worst he’d seen in his decades in retail One of the most groundbreaking aspects of Medline’s position was his newfound embrace of a code of conduct Medline’s statement was a bombshell within the industry: An executive from Big Grocery joining suppliers and small businesses to call for more rules Conservative agriculture critic Lianne Rood repeatedly asked about the subject in question period but the government determined a code was out of federal jurisdiction since regulating terms of sale is a provincial issue The thought of 10 different regulations stretched across a national food supply chain wasn’t appealing so agriculture minister Bibeau suggested the federal government could help coordinate a more coherent response across the country the feds needed a provincial ally to help champion the issue through the FPT who was pushing the issue with his counterparts in other regions president of the Quebec farmers’ group L’Union des producteurs agricoles Public servants started conducting the first of what ended up being more than 60 meetings with industry executives and representatives but it surprisingly joined a coalition of lobby groups to present FPT investigators with a blueprint for implementing a code of conduct “When everybody realized that we meant business and that we were really at work “The word spread out that the train was on the rails and it was leaving the station … and if you want to be heard Lamontagne’s early days as Quebec’s agriculture minister were marked by a major scandal over the firing of a ministry expert who leaked documents about the harmful effects associated with a particular pesticide He acclimatized to the role in the glare of that scandal and has since operated in a style one staffer calls “le sous-marin,” a submarine in that he has the propensity to dive deep on issues without attracting too much attention Lamontagne has since won supporters inside the agriculture sector and set himself apart as a rare minister interested in how food is processed and sold is never a top priority for any minister of ag,” said Sylvie Cloutier who leads the Quebec Food Processing Council executive director of the Quebec Produce Marketing Association called Lamontagne the best ag minister she’s seen in her 18 years in the business considering the minister’s big funding plan to boost Quebec’s domestic food production who many have credited as one of the key catalysts in the latest push for a code of conduct said in a statement that Lamontagne has been “instrumental” in the process but Lamontagne is confident a code will be locked up by December Lamontagne isn’t one to be deterred from a mission His siblings had gone to work elsewhere to perfect their second language including an older brother who worked at a tobacco farm in Ontario his dad knew a fruit and vegetable broker in central California so Lamontagne spent two summers learning about lettuce and cantaloupe Sometimes he would sit with the broker after work and ask questions about how the business worked “Throw someone in hot water and you become the same temperature as the water,” he said of his tutelage Lamontagne received the same sort of learning from his dad he knew he wanted to study business and eventually start a business For the roughly 15 years that Lamontagne owned his Provigo stores shortly after Lamontagne sold the last of his three supermarkets well before launching into a long and varied career that currently puts him at the edge of a potential milestone in grocery It gnaws at him a little when he thinks about what his dad has missed “I wish he would have known more of what I’ve become.” This website uses cookies to personalize your content (including ads), and allows us to analyze our traffic.

All Rights Reserved. ZWD If you’re looking for a more scenic route from Ottawa to Montreal than the usual slog down Highway 417 and Autoroute 40 and you’d like to stop at a pretty apple cidery along the way take Autoroute Guy-Lafleur (formerly known as Quebec Highway 50) toward Mirabel take Highway 148 southeast and follow some secondary routes to reach Cidrerie Lacroix in tiny Saint-Joseph-du-Lac The cidery is owned by three sisters—Elisabeth Gabrielle and Anne—who are the fifth generation of the family that bought this property in 1986 and converted it from a brussels sprout farm to an apple orchard The family planted the first apple trees in 1988 and opened the public cidery operation in 2020 The drive from Ottawa to Cidrerie Lacroix will take you about two hours through rolling hills along the north shore of the Ottawa River followed by quiet farmland as you approach Saint-Joseph-du-Lac The views en route are part of the reason you’d drive all the way from Ottawa to visit an apple orchard But there are four others: the quality of the cider the pretty patio overlooking the orchard and a well-stocked shop Disclosure: I received a free meal and cider flight in the restaurant for review purposes The restaurant did not review or approve this post Let me make a confession right off the top: I’m not a big cider drinker too bubbly or just too much like apple-juice-with-a-kick your opinions on the beverages at Cidrerie Lacroix may differ from mine Ciders are $8 a glass or $14 for a flight of four five-ounce samples was the least traditional: a radler-style cider made with a blend of Lobo and Macintosh apple juices It was as dry as advertised and quite nice a straight-up apple cider aged in oak barrels; both were semi-dry and a bit sweet for my tastes (My usual tipple is New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc to give you an idea of how dry I like my drinks.) Even if you’re not in search of refreshing beverages it’s worth stopping by Cidrerie Lacroix just for the food During the fall apple season (until late October; check the cidery’s website for exact dates) light-filled restaurant is serving brunch and lunch from Wednesday through Sunday plus a limited happy-hour menu from 5pm to 8pm on Thursdays Gluten-free and vegetarian options are available Everything’s local,” says cidery manager Laurent Bourgeois “Local” has a somewhat elastic definition; Bourgeois notes that it can mean choosing Atlantic salmon rather than the Pacific variety the menu does lean quite heavily on Quebec ingredients Brunch specialties include tasty-looking twists on classics such as buttermilk pancakes with dried berries and I pondered all sorts of choices—burgers cauliflower tempura—before settling on good old mac-and-cheese it was a fancier version of a familiar treat souped up with Oka and strong cheddar cheeses which meant I couldn’t quite finish it…which broke my heart An expansive dining patio opens off the back of the restaurant overlooking some of the orchard’s 5,000 trees That’s a pretty nice view on any warm day don’t exactly run on a tight schedule They usually bloom for between three to eight days anytime within that three-week window So if you have your heart set on seeing pretty apple blossoms the other big season at Cidrerie Lacroix is early fall (September and October) when the orchard’s 19 varieties of apples are ready for picking “When we announce that the Honeycrisp is going to be ready we have lineups at eight in the morning,” says Bourgeois with a laugh Note: If you’d like to pick-your-own and the one at Cidrerie Lacroix is particularly attractive It’s stocked with a wide range of house-made products as well as items from other Quebec and Eastern Ontario producers (such as St If discovering new local ingredients is one of your primary reasons for a road trip you’ll find a lot of tempting items here As I mentioned, it takes about two hours to reach Cidrerie Lacroix from Ottawa If you’d like to extend your trip, you could check out a few other nearby attractions. For instance, Maison Lavande is a pretty lavender farm less than a 10-minute drive away The lavender generally blooms in late June and early July but the farm hosts concerts and other special events at other times of year and it also has a nice gift shop stocked with its own lavender products And you’re about an hour’s drive from downtown Montreal Disclosure: If you book a place using the links in this map I’ll receive a small commission at no extra cost to you Looking for more tips on things to see and do in Eastern Ontario, the Outaouais, northern New York state and beyond?

In a press conference presented at the 2015 Joint Assembly and Canadian geoscientist organizations in Montreal climate researchers explained that the province’s cold weather and snow which can damage grapes’ blooming buds or kill the vine outright Get the most fascinating science news stories of the week in your inbox every Friday “With this study we can look at where the next region of wine making could be located,” said Philippe Roy, lead researcher and climate scenarios specialist at the Ouranos Consortium on Regional Climatology and Adaptation to Climate Change Roy and his colleagues framed their investigation within two of the many factors that lead to a successful harvest: the number of consecutive days without frost and the number of growing degree days (GDDs) The latter tells vintners how many days of the growing cycle reach temperatures conducive for good wine and can fluctuate depending on region and grape variety The researchers used climate models to simulate how Quebec’s climate would change under two greenhouse gas emission scenarios designed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change The first is the “business as usual” scenario in which greenhouse gas emissions do not decrease in the 21st century The second is a scenario in which greenhouse gas emissions peak in 2040 then decline the researchers searched for areas in climate predictions that gave 180 consecutive days without frost which is the minimum for European varieties such as Pinot Noir which is also a bare minimum for grape growers Then they examined what wine-growing conditions would be like in the coming century within Quebec favorable grape-growing conditions are 70%–90% likely to emerge in the province the researchers focused on the region in southern Quebec called Estrie By plugging in the required 180 consecutive days without frost and 1250 GDDs needed for European grape varieties the researchers found a 70% chance of suitable grape-growing conditions emerging by 2050 we can expect increased wine making potential.” Bottom line: “In terms of climate conditions we can expect increased wine-making potential” in the southern regions of Quebec These regions may be able to grow more varieties of grapes which could make these future wineries’ products more desirable to consumers Warmer weather may also affect the taste and alcohol content of wine because temperature-induced chemical processes that occur within growing grapes could make them less desirable to consumers “The wine making in Quebec is still at an early stage but things are looking good on the climate side of the next decades,” Roy said However, climate change does not just mean warmer weather. It can also influence soil health “There are other factors that also have to be considered when you are going to decide whether wine making is going to be possible,” Charron said (2015), Warmer climate could aid Quebec’s wine industry, Eos The Beat 92.5 is Montreal's Perfect mix of today's top charting music and the best variety of music from the 90's and 2000's The Beat is the perfect way to get through the day combining all the hits and all the fun 2023 at 11:35 AM by Rob Kemp | Updated on September 13th Apples / Fudio / iStock / Getty Images Plus / Getty ImagesYou might be lamenting the end of summer but one positive aspect of the changing season is..
