NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is calling for the competition commissioner to investigate allegations that the Loblaw grocery chain and a company owned by telecom companies Rogers and Bell are engaging in price fixing.

“Canadians are getting ripped off when they go to the grocery stores,” while also paying cell phone fees that are “some of the highest in the world,” Mr. Singh said during a May 22 press conference.
