Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne is disappointed with grocers' lack of transparency around tackling food inflation.

Champagne is sending a letter to the Competition Commissioner expressing dissatisfaction and asking him to address consumers' concerns.

Champagne says further action is needed and hopes the Commissioner will use recently-granted powers to investigate and take enforcement action.

Champagne says more competition is key to stabilizing grocery prices and will continue pressuring grocers on this issue.
