Mr. Speaker, I made a commitment to the House on three occasions in the past several days.
We are very concerned about the price of gas. We know it is an international problem. The price of oil per barrel has escalated to above $40 U.S. We know the companies are doing an excellent job out there. They are performing very well producing oil and gas all across this country. What we have said very clearly is if there are any problems, they will be reported to the Competition Bureau and we will check them out.
We are concerned and we are checking out every possibility to deal with the issue at hand.
