Ontario Superior Court rejects adding Maple Leaf Foods to bread price-fixing class-action lawsuit.
An Ontario Superior Court judge has rejected efforts to include Maple Leaf Foods in a class-action lawsuit concerning a bread-price fixing scandal.

The class-action is part of ongoing investigations by the Competition Bureau into price-fixing in the bread industry.
