Madam Speaker, the member knows that my grandpa's farm was in Asquith, Saskatchewan, and I spent much of my childhood out on that cattle farm, jumping on hay and picking eggs up from the chickens. However, I want to talk about corporate greed in the grocery stores. I worked in the grocery industry for over 20 years; every time a new product comes into a large corporation, the corporation wants hundreds of thousands of dollars from the supplier to get what is called a “listing” in the grocery stores. If it is tofu, cheese or any kind of product that a supplier wants to bring into a grocery store, that supplier is paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to do that. Where does the member think that money is being recovered from?
