Regional Development June 5th, 1996
Mr. Speaker, closures were made all over the country. Each case was reviewed on its own merits. We took into consideration the location of each base, as well as the impact of its closure on the whole community.
Saint-Hubert is in a very good location, close to Montreal. The investment fund of $1 million which we are setting up will fully serve the needs of the community and will greatly help it face the minor economic impact that may result from the closing of the military base.
Regional Development June 5th, 1996
Mr. Speaker, I did have an opportunity to meet the mayor and some officials of Saint-Hubert, regarding the closure of the base. A number of facilities have been closed across Canada, and it is essentially up to the Department of National Defence to ensure that everything is done in a normal and appropriate fashion for the communities concerned.
During my last meeting with the mayor of Saint-Hubert, I told him we would set up a local investment fund of about $1 million. This investment fund, to be used exclusively to restructure local economic interests, seemed acceptable. Other matters were also raised by the mayor of Saint-Hubert, including payments in lieu of taxes and the fixed assets involve. All these issues are being settled the way they are elsewhere in Canada, with a corporation taking charge of the infrastructures.

Mr. Speaker, at the risk of repeating myself, in 1986, Canada put in place a process to analyze mergers, buyouts and cases of unfair competition. This is a great and highly effective process. We have a bureau employing a number of experts called upon to analyze the market and its transactions. When they find that competition is declining, they take action; alternatively, individuals can use the mechanism provided for in the legislation.
Milling Industry May 31st, 1996
Mr. Speaker, as I said earlier, in Canada, a mechanism is provided under the Competition Act.
We have experts at the competition bureau who have a great deal of experience in the field of competition and who know the economic market place well. Needless to say, we are keeping a close watch on all deals made from coast to coast. If the competition bureau notices a decline in competition on the Canadian market, it will take action.
Otherwise, there is a mechanism available to all Canadians, which any six citizens from anywhere in the country can use to call for a review, if necessary.
Hollinger Inc. May 31st, 1996
Mr. Speaker, as I just said, the director of competition was informed of this transaction. We conducted a number of analyses and came to the conclusion that this deal did not significantly reduce competition in Canada as provided for in the legislation. Once again, I remind my colleague that the law is there to be used in accordance with the mechanism provided.
