Thank you, Mr. Chair.
It's always a pleasure to see Minister Champagne.
Thank you to Mr. Schaan for being here as well.
We are seeing inflation come down in Canada. We know it has been persistently high with grocery prices, and from one end of the riding that I represent to the other, people still have sticker shock when they go grocery shopping. It's so important that we work on measures that are going to improve affordability in this area.
Minister, I was hoping you could first speak to how the lack of competition is affecting the elevated grocery prices in Canada.
