Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the witnesses for being here today.
Last week we heard, and have been hearing this all along from processor groups, a call for a grocery code of conduct in Canada. Industry has been buckling under the costs of COVID-19 for the last 10 months or so, and now we are seeing retailers adding arbitrary fees of up to 6% on processors and farmers while they're recording record profits.
Ms. Groeneweg, at what point will the Competition Bureau step up and address the abuse of market domination by grocery chains?
