Edgardo runs a fish store in Toronto's Kensington Market that purchases its products from a wholesaler and sells to the public. Edgardo knows the market well and offers low prices. Consequently, his store is always full of clients. Lately, he has been having difficulty getting wild, as opposed to farmed, salmon. His wholesaler tells him that he will not sell to him because his low prices are making other retailers look bad. In other words Edgardo is too much of a competitive threat to the industry. Under the circumstances it is MOST likely that Edgardo could complain to the Competition Bureau about
A) the criminal offence of price maintenance.
B) the reviewable practice of price maintenance because the wholesaler is trying to influence upward the price at which Edgardo sells his fish but only if the actions of the wholesaler are having an adverse effect on competition in the market.
C) the reviewable practice of refusal to deal, whereby other fish retailers are trying to match his prices so that they can drive him out of the market.
D) a criminal conspiracy to drive him out of the market.
E) the reviewable practice of market restriction
