Empire, the parent company of sobeys is pushing back against allegations of anti-government conduct. Now the commissioner of the competition launched a probe over an alleged use of property controls to limit grocery competition. All of this is adding to existing pr problems, including a month-long loblaws boycott which is expected to be followed with a sobeys boycott. We are joined by retail expert doug stephens for more. >> Great to be with you, anne-marie. >> Anne-Marie: the end of may marks one month of a boycott of loblaws. >> The competition bureau seems to be focusing in on an aspect of the retail industry with what we call restrictive covenants. When a large retailer like loblaws or sobeys takes space in a commercial property, what they will often do is build into their leasing agreement a restrictive covenant that says to landlord, because we now occupy this space, you cannot have anyone else that competes either directly or even indirectly in some cases with us. So for example, you can't lease out space to a butcher or a bakery in the same mall that we occupy. And the position of the competition bureau and it's a fair position, is that this really does have a dampening effect on competition. It's also fair to say, this is not a new phenomenon. Restrictive covenants have been a reality in retail for decades. >> Anne-Marie: we hear about the bread price-fixing and then there was the second probe that was launched. How does that affect us overall? >> It's obviously a real building of outrage. And as you point out, the bread fixing inging inging scandal happened 9 years ago. The pandemic, we saw high prices and record profits. The fact of the matter is when you take into account that this country is basically dominated to the tune of 70% of the

It's a non-evasive medical device that stimulates the spinal chord. A clinical trial of 60 participants 72% saw an improvement in their arms and hands. Joining us with more is ctv science and technology specialist's dan riskin. How does it work? >> Dan: these are people lo have spinal chord injuries. They don't have complete control of their hands and arms. For a lot of people, the first thing they think of is can they walk again. Using your hands is a much bigger deal. So what they did in the study is the people spent 25 therapy sessions trying to learn to manipulate things and to use their hands. They had 25 sessions with arc x. It's an electrode on the back at the site of a spinal cord injury. In the past, this is an evasive thing that had to be surgically impacted. This is just on the skin. For reasons that are kind of miraculous, it improves their performance. As you said, 72% of those people saw huge improvements compared to what they could do if they weren't getting zapped on the neck. Once those people gained that mobility, they could turn down the volume on that zapper. They continued to have that mobility. In a way, it's like they healed. >> Anne-Marie: what does it do for someone's quality of life? >> Dan: this is the big thing. What they have done really well here is to let the patients, the people that are using this
