Restructuring and Related Activities Disclosure [Text Block]
During 2018, the Company initiated plans to restructure the operations of the Canada segment. The restructuring seeks to streamline operations in the greater Toronto area by consolidating facilities, exiting certain lines of business, and rationalizing stock keeping units (“SKUs”). The intended result of the Canada restructuring will be a more streamlined and scalable operation focused on delivering optimal service and a broad offering of products across the Company's core categories. Plans were finalized during the fourth quarter of 2018. The Company expects to incur restructuring related charges and capital expenditures in our Canada segment over the next year as plans are implemented. Charges incurred in the current year include:
