Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne says he's 'disappointed' in the lack of transparency Canadian grocery store giants have offered so far when it comes to tackling food inflation. He's sending a letter to Canada's Commissioner of Competition to express his dissatisfaction.

That would just increase the price further as the corporations would shift the cost to the clients.

Want to solve it permanently? Crown corporation grocery stores.

If the taxes are designed to create a ceiling, it wouldn't matter how much they charged.

I do like the idea of crown corporation grocery stores, though. Let's go that route.

Only way that works is a 100% tax rate after a certain point and what I think would happen is that they would find better ways to dodge them...
