We have 5 major food corporations right now and they just had their hands slapped for fixing prices. You think a 6th player in the market would stop that?
That is what the Liberals are advocating.
I think that solution will fail in the exact same way that the current market is failing because that 6th private corporation is motivated the exact same ways as the other 5. They want profits and there is no reason for them to behave differently than the existing corporations.
If you want something to change you cannot add more of the same.
