Thank you very much for that suggestion.

In line with some of the elements of the grocery code of conduct—that was something Minister Champagne also highlighted—is the imbalance between smaller producers and suppliers and, of course, the larger grocery chains.

I know that right now, on the plan you put forward, there's concern about price reductions being passed down to manufacturers or producers.

How do you plan to support smaller producers and suppliers in negotiations with the larger grocery chains, outside of the grocery code of conduct? What are you doing now?
