The study, released Tuesday, makes a number of recommendations to government on how to address the issue, including paving the way for international retailers to enter Canada and boost competitiveness of the sector.

A number of other companies, including some of Canada’s largest grocery retailers, remain under investigation and have denied any wrongdoing.

The report points out that Canada’s three largest grocers – Loblaw, Sobeys and Metro – last year made profits totaling more than $3.6-billion on more than $100-billion in sales.
