I agree. Sadly, I think it's poorly implemented right now.

I'd have to find the news article about it, but I'm pretty sure this program exists already. I think an external study on the program shows that the Northwest Company is pocketing something like 60% of the subsidy for Northern grocers and only passing on 40% of the value to lower consumer prices. I saw this article perhaps 6 months ago? Let me go looking.

From this article, I got the numbers backward: 60% goes to consumers but 40% goes missing.
