I would like to talk about the costs imposed on suppliers by retailers. I raised the question earlier with Mr. Hussain, but I didn't really get an answer. You may be able to give me some ideas.
The committee has heard the representatives of the Dairy Processors Association of Canada. Mr. Frigon told us that marketing costs represented 18% of the costs of fresh product suppliers in the United States as compared to 28% in Canada, in the retail business.
What explanation is there for that kind of difference?
