CBC News article for context

Any eligible Canadian resident who purchased packaged bread for their personal use — including bagged bread, buns, rolls, bagels, naan, English muffins, wraps, pita and tortillas — between 2001 and 2021 can claim compensation from the national settlement reached with Loblaw Companies Limited, and parent company George Weston Ltd. 

Forms can be found online at CanadianBreadSettlement.ca for those living anywhere in Canada outside of Quebec as of Dec. 31, 2021, and at QuebecBreadSettlement.ca for those living within that province on that date. Claims have to be submitted by Dec. 12, 2025, both websites note.

[...]

While the price-fixing allegations targeted other major grocers, including Sobeys, Walmart, Giant Tiger and Metro, only Loblaw and its parent company have agreed to a settlement. The others have denied the allegations.

I feel like it is asking for a lot of personal information just to claim this. Not feeling that it is worth it

If it means Galen Weston Jr loses a tiny bit of money, it's worth it IMO. I'd be petty enough to spend $50 if it means Loblaws had to send me $25.

But for real, it's a class action lawsuit claim for compensation so I'm not really surprised it asks for identifying information

The real money is in the data we generate along the way.
