For example, the slotting fees of $500,000 for a product, a SKU, throughout Canada, without a sale warranty, do not correspond to what happens in the American markets, where you have access to different distributors.
Market access costs in Canada are excessive. The rules are very strict. For example, 40 rather than 10 day terms of payment to suppliers and the ability to change contracts without prior notice are examples of things that don't happen outside Canada. But because of a situation where things are so controlled by the government—at least in Quebec—this has meant... It doesn't make sense. The only place in the world where there is such a concentrated market is in Australia where there are only two distributors. The same situation exists there. There were also situations just as troubling in France, Germany, and England, but laws were passed to at least prevent this kind of worrisome occurrence.
