In its lawsuit, Maple Leaf says allegations that the company was aware of or played a role in the alleged conspiracy are unfounded, defamatory and devoid of merit.A spokesperson for Canada Bread said Maple Leaf’s claims are without merit. Maple Leaf in its lawsuit says there is no merit to the allegations the bureau has made against Canada Bread concerning an alleged conspiracy.
The major grocers, along with Canada Bread and other companies, are also the subject of two class-action lawsuits concerning the alleged conspiracy, though Loblaw and George Weston recently settled in both suits for a combined $500 million. Canada Bread has alleged Maple Leaf is liable for any damages it has sustained or will sustain from the Competition Bureau investigation and the class action lawsuits, which Maple Leaf has refuted.
