Thank you for the question.
Also, I want to tell you that we very much appreciate the fact that you took time to meet with Atlantic Grocery Distributors. I got very positive feedback from your meeting with them, and I would be remiss if I didn't extend our appreciation for your taking the time to talk to them, so thank you for that.
On the issue of fair supply, that is an extremely important issue to independent grocers. We have seen that when a product is in high demand or in low supply, independents sometimes don't get a fair allocation of that. There have been examples. I've been with the independents for 25 years, and there have been examples where a supplier will tell an independent grocer that they don't have any more of a product—I won't pick an example—and then the independent will notice that the same product is going on sale at a retail chain competitor. I'm not pointing fingers at anyone. I'm just saying that those kinds of things can't continue, and the code addresses that. The code will require suppliers to take into account their orders from all of their customers, so it's just not something that we anticipate will continue.
I think parts of the discussions we had about this issue while we were developing the code sensitized everyone to the issue. I've heard a positive reaction from suppliers and from the retail chains. No one wants to see that kind of thing happen. We're all Canadians, and we want to ensure there is food security in all of the country. That's why we're feeling very positive that we've been listened to and that those elements have been incorporated into the code.
