Mr. Charlebois, I'm going back to you.
I know that the Competition Bureau did a study on grocery prices way back now; it seems like a long time ago. It was when I was on the agriculture and agri-food standing committee. We received that report, and it really felt like it didn't get to the bottom of the issues, the heart of the issues, with grocery prices in Canada being inflated. I think part of the challenge they identified was that the Competition Bureau was limited in its powers to compel data. One of my concerns from hearing from the grocery giants in Canada on that committee at the time was that they were saying that, in fact, their margins weren't that much higher, when I think the data shows that their gross margins are somewhat higher—although low as a sector as a whole, for sure. What I wanted to say was that it seemed as though they were saying that their health and beauty products and lines were the reasons they were making a lot more money—or at least that's what Loblaws CEO Galen Weston told us.
What I want to ask you is this. Do you think that the Competition Bureau with the new powers that have been added to it to compel documents and data.... If they were to be able to get to bottom of the issue with those new powers, what do you suspect is the real heart of the issue with grocery prices and the concentration in the market that we see in Canada? Certainly part of the issue that we have, and I don't think anyone's going to doubt this, is that concentration is part of the problem. It might not be the whole problem, but it's certainly a big piece of it. Can you comment on those powers to compel data and what you think we would uncover, or the Competition Bureau would uncover?
