Thank you to my colleague, and Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank all of the witnesses for your expert testimony, and also acknowledge the excellent translation I'm getting in my ear, which is very clear and very quick. Thank you very much.
I'd like to begin with Ms. Cloutier and one of the last challenges that you raised, namely with the retailer concentration.
We've had several witnesses testify that retailers seem to follow each other very, very closely when instituting new fees and new fines and often won't even accept—so we've heard—price increases from suppliers unless they have assurance that their competitors are facing the same impact. Do you feel that this is consistent with the federal Competition Act? Are your members seeing the same thing?
