Sticking with the restaurant industry, Lauren, you mentioned the rising cost of inputs like chicken and beef. In Quebec there was recently a class action lawsuit filed against the main four Canadian meat packers—Cargill, JBS, Tyson Foods and National Beef Packing—for unduly restricting competition related to the production, supply and sale of beef, essentially for price fixing and price gouging. We're also seeing that there are a number of new studies coming out discussing the role that market power is having on inflation.
It's not just that these are normal market conditions but actually that companies are raising.... They're essentially markups. They're conducting markups of the price above production costs, over and above the rising costs that they have. It's a way to not only keep their profit margins consistent but in many cases to increase their profit margins.
If you're a small restaurant, a small supplier or an Amazon seller, these are dynamics for which, as of late, or as of now, there are very few avenues for recourse for these businesses. That is why we think that these kinds of private taxes, private regulators on markets, are increasingly an area where federal jurisdiction as well as provincial jurisdictions have a role to play in curtailing some of this such that it could provide more equitable access to markets for smaller businesses.
