Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses for being here today.
I know that we have seen prices on the grocery store shelves continue to climb higher and higher. From what I've been able to gather, produce farmers aren't get paid more for their produce. The competition in the market, because of grocery store chain dominance, is forcing farmers to sell their produce for either ridiculously low margins or even to take a loss just to have the privilege of continuing to sell their goods to grocery giants like Loblaws. Farmers take all the risks, and yet these grocery giants are the ones to take all of the rewards. I've been a strong advocate on a grocery code of conduct, and I do hope to see this come to fruition to tackle some of these issues that we see here today.
Mr. Hussain, I have a question for you. Your company has reported record-breaking profits, yet financial data is not available to the public to see if your profits are a product of diversity or part of an increased cost of food. I'm just wondering if Loblaws tracks its sales in separate categories.
