Does Canada's Food System Have a Monopoly Problem? CFIG’s Sr VP Gary Sands was part of a panel discussion on TVO’s “The Agenda with Steve Paikin” with Jennifer Clapp, Keldon Bester, and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois. A new report from the Canadian Anti-Monopoly Project argues Canada’s food system is being undermined by monopoly. And while grocery stores have become an easy target for consumer anger over the cost of food, this report says consolidation has occurred at all levels of the supply chain. The Agenda looks at the implications of the report.
