Thank you.
The government promised Canadians it would lower prices for consumers at the grocery store by Thanksgiving. They broke that promise.
We've heard in the media that stores like yours are going to put a pause on increasing the prices of goods right now. That's standard practice, as I understand, through the holiday season. I think you said publicly that you're going to keep that into the new year. Once that price freeze expires, what will consumers see at the grocery store? Can they count on there being higher prices, once the reductions or freezes are off? You mentioned in your opening remarks that suppliers have been asking for increases, because the cost of goods is going up on their side of things when they supply grocery stores.
Can we expect price increases in the new year, once the freeze is finished?
