Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to the ministers for being here.
I have a question for Minister Bains about competition.
A number of agricultural and agri-food groups have come out publicly against the fees supermarkets and retailers like Walmart have imposed, so the Bloc Québécois wants you to know it is concerned.
The Bloc Québécois is formally requesting that you instruct the Competition Tribunal to investigate the various barriers being imposed on suppliers and the power imbalance in business negotiations. I am referring to a joint email that I and my fellow member Yves Perron sent you on August 11; you have yet to reply.
