As S•ou know. there has
been considerable discus-.
Mot: in the Jast'few montifs
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 in-
quiry into rebates, discounts
and allowances in theNOn-
tariofood industry
All three political parties
approved the idea of an in-
quiry. although there was
some disagreement on the
scope and form which the in-
vestigtion should have.
Liberal Leader Stuart
Smith led the campaign to
have a full investigation. He
asked many questions about
deductions which are made
from payments to suppliers.

higher than 2� . In -fact.

the percentage escalates to
10'% . 15`% or even 201.
'There is also evidence that
the retailers do not demand
the discounts in order to
lower the prite of food to the
consumer. They do so
primarily to increase their
market share This is an iro-

THE NEXT ELECTION...
for municipal councils -and school boards
will be three weeks early this year.
It will take place throughout Ontario
• on Monday, November 13,1978.
This earlier date means that the time available for enumeration and
the preparation of the Preliminary List of Electors was shorter than it
has been in the past. Also the time allowed for the Municipal Clerk to
revise the list has been cut back as well.
To make certain that you get your vote on November 13 in the correct
Roll, please be sure to go and check the Preliminary Lists of Electors
which the Municipal Clerk will be posting soon. Watch your news -

to ensure that the interests
of consumers and producers
would not continue to be
threatened.
The su tained campaign
by the -'Opposition .was
succes`sfiiT•in persuading the
Government to establish the
Royal Commission into.
Discounts and Allowances in
the Food Industry. This
Commission is chaired by
Judge James Ross. It will
attempt to determine the
over-all effects of such prac-
tices as discounts. rebates
and other forms of payment
made by food producers' -to
retail stores.
Obviously. producers, as
well as consumers, have a
stake in the outcome of the
hearings of the Corinmitsion.
which are scheduled to begin
some )'tine in November.
The prices which farmers
receive are -public; -the
prices which consumers
have .to_pay are ppublic: 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 sub-
mitted a strongly -worded
report. based upon public
testimony by a number of
witnesses and confidential
interviews with six food
suppliers. , In his view. "the
arranging of discounts is an
unequal battle between
stropg (4upermarket)
chains and weaker Mod)
-processors which may have
the effect of gouging."
Discounts he said "do not
seem to 'be 'related to
volume selling. but perhaps
are related to concentration
in the hands of a few.''
He warned that too much
power among . the -retail
chains will reduce competi-
tion at the processor level
and lead to a system of ver-
tical integration. in which
the, chaihs control food
processing as well as retail-
ing.
Hopefully. the ,investiga-
tibn by the Royal -Commis-
sion will be successful in
throwing considerable Tight
onto the whole subject of
food discounts. rebates and
payments. We. 'shall. all be
