Roger Worth A big percentage of the $19 billion Canadians spend on food this year will pass through the cash registers of the national national chains that solidly dominate dominate the marketplace. Yet in Quebec, big supermarket supermarket operators are uneasy because independent grocers are at least holding their own, if not gaining sales, in the dog- eat-dog food market. The reason: smaller Quebec independents are now allowed to sell wine, as well as beer, providing a customer drawing card that makes a more even matchup with chain stores not able to sell the product. Roger Worth is Director, Public A /fairs, Canadian Federation of Independent Business. By backing the independents, independents, the Quebec government has resolved an issue that is only now becoming a hot item in the rest of the country. In province after province, independent grocery retailers, including those represented by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, have voted overwhelmingly in favor of selling wine. They believe the change would provide a consumer convenience and help preserve the place of the corner corner store. Alas, provincial governments governments have been slow to act on the touchy political issue and Ontario, of all provinces, has regretfully taken the opposite;1 opposite; 1 tack. The Conservative government in that province allows wines to be sold in more than 125 supermarkets, but not by independents. Alberta, though, is considering considering a system similar to that in Quebec, and other provinces are at least looking at the options options available. In a country where a handful handful of supermarket chains have • a stranglehold on the grocery ' business, smaller operators • deserve a bit of a break. Allowing independent grocers grocers and entrepreneurs running corner stores to sell wine would be a move in the right direction.
