As you know, there has been considerable discussion in the last few months about grocery store discount practices. There were a number of heated debates in the House on the subject, and the Legislature's Stan- ding Committee on Resources Development has recommended a public • inquiry into rebates, discounts and allowances in the Ontario food industry. All three political parties approved the idea of an inquiry, although there was some disagreement on the scope and form which the investigation should have. Liberal _Leaden Stltart Smith led the campaign to have a full in- vestigation. He asked many questions about deductions which are made from payments to suppliers, as the cost of doing business with the grocery outlets. Unfor- tunately, this discounting is, it seems, only the tip of the iceberg, and the very fact' that such discounts are requested and paid is a clear indication of the power of the retailers. It appears that chain stores also demand from suppliers sizeable payments or discounts with respect to volume, promotion etc. as a condition for handling products. This type of discountis frequently much higher than two percent. In fact, there are indications that . the pere eiiiage"" e-sealates `te 10 percent, 15 percent or even 20 percent. There is also evidence that the retailers do not demand the discounts in order to lower the price of food to the consumer. They do so primarily to increase their market `share. This is an important issue and must be taken into consideration in the context of any in vestigation into the food industry. The legality or otherwise o'f the discounting and other payment arrangements has to be considered of course. But these practices could all be quite legal under existing law, depending on the manner in which they are implemented. The. question of prime im- portance,.which needs to. be answered at this -time, is: "What are the economic and social consequences of such trading practices?" . Of course, these practices also have the effect of accelerating the concentration of power into a few hands - in- creasing the danger of monopolies. According to a study commissioned by the Food Prices Review Board approximately two years ago, high con- centration of power in this way definitely has important negative ef- .feets on economic per- formance. It tends to generate overstoring, higher profit§, less, free service and less product variety; and finally as an outcome, higher levels of prices compared to lower concentrated markets. The study indicated that an average of four percent higher food costs DANCE Sponsored by GODERICH AND DISTRICT ASSOCIATION FOR THE MENTALLY RETARDED White Carnation SATURDAY, NOV. 4 9 P.M. -1 A.M.

This represented 250 million additional dollars which the consumer had to pay for food. There is also the potential threat of disruption in .the food industry, the interference in our export market and the reduction of choice that consumers have in the market place due to current trading practices and the' concentration of power in a few large chain stores. We were very con- cerned about this situation, and used a procedural device to petition the Legislature to have the 1977 Annual Report of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food sent t10 committee, so that food store buying practices could be fully reviewed. The committee heard evidence from various representatives of the food industry, and ascertained that a much broader, more intensive public inquiry was needed. Clearly, some kind of full investigation was necessary to ensure that -the interests of consumers and producers would not continue to be threatened. The sustained cam- paign by the Opposition was successful in per- suading the Government to establish the Royal Commission into Discounts and Allowances in the Food Industry. This Com- mission is chaired by Judge James Ross. It will attempt to determine the over-all effects of such practices as discounts, ' rebates. and other forms of payment made by food producers to retail stores. Obviously, producers as well as Ironsumers, have a stake in the out- come of the hearings of the Commission, which are scheduled to begin some time in November. The prices which farmers receive are public; the prices which consumers have to pay are public; but what happens in between is unknown, confusing and suspect. There are a great many questions which need to be answered. ' • • During discussion of this matter in committee, Counsel William Poole submitted a strongly - worded report, based upon public testimony by a number. of,, witnesses and confidential • in- terviews with six food suppliers. In his view, "the' arranging of discounts is an unequal battle bet- ween strong (super- market) chains and weaker (food) processors which may have • the effect of gouging." Discounts he said "do SUNDAY BRUNCH AT THE _..:-Co U -RT_- ......... . A combination of Breakfast & Lunch, served from our Buffet table -10:30 to 2:30.

He warned that too much power among the retail chains will reduce competition at the processor level and lead to a system of vertical integration which the chains .control food processing as well as retailing. Hopefully, =the in- vestigation by the Royal Commission will be successful in Crowing considerable light onto" the whole subject of food discounts, rebates and payments. We shall all be watching developments with great interest. O 0 0 a a.o a.aaoa�0000aaaaiia8r040000aa0o00o:a0.
