Thank you.
Thank you to all the witnesses for being here.
I'd like to direct my questions to Mr. Whitehurst from the Consumers Council of Canada, as you represent consumers. In this study up until now, we've had a lot of discussion on the issue of trust between consumers and the major grocery chains.
Do you feel this is a major issue facing consumers right now? If so, do you believe that the grocery code of conduct would address this, or do you think that's going to deal primarily with the relationship between the farmers and producers and the grocery chains?
