I certainly see the issue, and it's an issue that is obviously of great concern to all Canadians and the bureau: that our farmers, who are deeply respected across the country and produce some of the best food at the best price, are having trouble. It is of concern to us.
The issue is the lever that the bureau has to do anything about this, when our act is about market power and making sure there's no market power excess profitability, so that consumers get the best price. We do that in all sectors: in fertilizers, in seeds, in herbicides, in grocery distribution and retailing, and in food trucking. We look and we make sure.
But our act has certain limits as to what we can and cannot do, and I've explained those. By and large, a company can have 35% of the market, and that won't raise an issue under our act. Simple math would tell you that under the Competition Act we would have a tolerance for three companies and not let it go below three.
Having said that, if somebody like a Loblaws, with over 30% of the market, were to announce tomorrow an intention to buy Sobeys, with 15%, I think we'd have a strong look at that. We would have a concern, because it goes through our concentration levels under the act.
