Agriculture committee  I can speak to an extensive abuse of dominance investigation that we did into certain practices that Loblaw had in place with its suppliers. This was a three-year investigation. It was a very, very deep dive into those policies to understand the intent behind them and the effect.

Agriculture committee  Thank you for the question. Yes, exactly. When we do an analysis of, say, retail grocers merging, it is a local market analysis. We're looking at specific demand. If there are specific aspects of a population that make them captive or vulnerable, those would go to our determination of what a substitute is and where they can travel to buy their groceries.

Industry committee  I'm happy to respond to that. Thank you very much for the question. The high credit card fees and the challenge those pose to merchants, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, are something the bureau has very much been live to for a quite a number of years now. Our focus under the act is looking at allegations of anti-competitive conduct that are driving those higher fees.

Industry committee  Thank you. I would just reiterate that, on the enforcement side, we are very much aware of the issue of high and rising shipping fees. There may be a number of factors driving these up, but to the extent that they are higher than they should be as a result of anti-competitive behaviour, whether that's an agreement between competitors that would be an issue under the Competition Act or some other form of abuse of market power, those are very much the issues that we would be digging into.
