The Competition Act was modernized in 2022, 2023 and 2024. We are making it a priority to address all potential concerns related to the entire supply chain. We have tools.
We have a record number of cases before the Competition Tribunal and the courts. We are putting those tools to use. Would more resources help us bring more cases? Absolutely.
We are using the generational upgrades to our legislation that this honourable place helped put in place over the last few years. We are hyperfocused on making sure that we're using all of the tools at our disposal to attack any competition issues that address affordability issues for Canadians in the entire supply chain.
On our competition promotion work, it will continue to be a focus for us to understand what barriers.... We've done our retail grocery market study to look at barriers to competition, but that's at the very end. There's a very long line before that food gets on the shelves in the grocery store. That will continue to be a focus of our work. We are interested in looking into competition issues throughout the supply chain, so that we can understand whether there are barriers to entry or recommendations that we can make to governments at all levels to help that competition work better.
