Thank you Mr. MacGregor
Thank you Mr. Chair.
Mr. La Flèche, thank you for being with us today to answer our questions.
A few weeks ago, the minister, Mr. Champagne, took a great deal of pride in saying that he had summoned you to Ottawa to tell you to stabilize prices or make an effort to help people struggling with the rising price of food.
A few weeks later, you gave an interview on TVA in which you admitted rather frankly that it had not had any impact on your practices, prices, or discounts. It was around Thanksgiving and turkey was on sale, just as it is every year, and you pointed that out.
If this meeting with Mr. Champagne hadn't had any impact, and people hadn't benefited in any way, is it because the minister was not very convincing or because he didn't have the authority to compel you?
