Brisket for Ground Beef?

I've had a tough time finding a source for Brisket in Toronto, and I couldn't figure out why it was so hard to find.

This weekend, I stopped in at a local ethnic butcher shop. He had a pile of briskets on his counter -- He was grinding them into ground beef. I asked him and he said its what he regularly uses. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough freezer space to save one of the briskets from an unseemly fate. $3/lb was the offered price.

Does anyone know if this is the common usage for briskets?

If so, Great. I'll just ask the supermarket to sell me some unground-ground beef

This past weekend the Tyler's Ultimate on the Food Channel discussed the ultimate hamburger. The primary ingredient for his UB was ground beef made from the brisket flat. He stated the marbling and the fat cap all contributed to a very tasty hamburger.
