Thank you.

Thank you for being here today, Minister.

Minister, I put a question to the Prime Minister on November 4 about grocery giants gouging suppliers. The Prime Minister answered:

The federal Competition Bureau, as an independent law enforcement agency, is responsible for enforcing the Competition Act, and we expect that it will.

I am just wondering if you have followed up with the Competition Bureau as to whether or not they are investigating the grocery giants' practices, as the Prime Minister has indicated.
