Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	10. Income Taxes For the quarters and two quarters ended July 2, 2016 and July 4, 2015, the Company’s effective tax rate was different from the Company’s statutory Canadian tax rate due to the Company’s annualized mix of earnings by jurisdiction, and the impact of discrete items. For the quarter and two quarters ended July 2, 2016, the Company used the actual year-to-date effective tax rate to estimate tax expense for these periods, instead of the annualized effective tax rate, as the calculated annualized effective tax rate was found to be highly sensitive to changes in estimates of total net earnings. The Company recognized a recovery of income tax of $10.2 million, or 43.5% of loss before income taxes, for the two quarters ended July 2, 2016, compared with a provision for income tax of $5.4 million, or 33.5% of earnings before income taxes, for the two quarters ended July 4, 2015. The effective tax rates reflected the impact of changes in the jurisdictional mix of earnings, mainly as the result of pre-tax losses in the U.S. in the two quarters ended July 2, 2016, compared with pre-tax earnings in the U.S. in the corresponding period of 2015, reflecting the effect in the first two quarters of 2016 of higher cash interest costs related to the financing of the Sunrise Acquisition, as well as discrete costs related to business acquisitions, including the acquisition accounting adjustment to Sunrise inventory sold in the period (see note 2) and amortization of debt issuance costs related to the Second Lien Loan Agreement (see note 7), as well as the impact of other discrete items including costs associated with the legal settlement with Plum, consolidation of our frozen fruit processing facilities, and product withdrawal and recall costs (see note 9).
