When I speak to my constituents in Etobicoke Centre, I hear primarily about two issues: about the cost of housing or renting a home and about the cost of life, particularly groceries. I want to switch to the issue of groceries, if I can.
To my mind, the big three grocers—I'm talking about Loblaw, Sobeys and Metro, the big players in the grocery market—sort of squeeze out the opportunity for other players to enter the Canadian market. That means less competition. Less competition, generally speaking, results in higher prices, or higher prices than we would have if we had more competition.
How does the bill that we're studying now lead to less concentration in the grocery sector and therefore lower prices for my constituents?
