case against defendant such as dollarama, seq and metro. So this is the dollarama bag that was filed in court as evidence. He says these stores sell bags that they advertise as recyclable when in fact, they aren't. That was very, very clear. You cannot make a false or fraudulent claim in this case, in our view, the flame, the claims are. >> Clearly a manifestly wrong, false and fraudulent and misleading. While the bags are reusable, many people ctv spoke to say they're surprised they can't be recycled. This is just for emergency and I don't have any bag. So it's keeping using and using using it all the time. When I buy a bag like this, I just reuse it as long as I can until it rips. >> But I always thought it was recyclable. Do.

Ctv's paul hollingsworth with the details. >> Canada's grocery giants sobeys and loblaws already facing scrutiny over rising food prices are now on the receiving end of an investigation launched by the competition bureau of canada. Anytime you're being investigated by the competition bureau, something serious is happening because they don't get involved all that often. And in fact, I think is a fairly novel case. Both grocery chains are accused of using property controls to limit competition in the retail grocery sector. A lack of competition is directly linked to the high price of food. Plenty try to control geography. >> As a retailer well and you're suppressing competition access access to food, affordable food becomes an issue for a lot of people. Sobeys owner empire called the investigation unlawful law professor wayne mackay says this case will resonate with millions of canadians who are struggling with the high cost of groceries. That's one of the things the competition bureau has to look at. They have to come do it independently. >> They're not be overly influenced by political or public opinion. >> But at the end of the day, they can decide is this, there is, is not proper competitive activity. Wayne mackay thinks the competition bureau has enough of a case to pursue this in the short term and long term. He says it's possible this could go down a path. The results in increased competition and more affordable food prices. >> Paul hollingsworth, ctv news. >> Well, summer is almost here for many. It's time for some fun in the sun.
