Industry committee  Thanks for the question. Yes, I would agree that the only consultation so far is Senator Wetston's consultation process. When you look at the submissions that were provided to that consultation, they are predominantly from observers and practitioners of competition law, so the range of views is coming from a fairly narrow set of stakeholders, and the larger, broader competition consultation that's supposed to come is intended to include broader stakeholders.

Industry committee  Maybe I'll just jump in with one comment. I disagree with the commissioner's concern that the need to prove substantial lessening and prevention of competition is a burden that he ought not need to discharge. This specific context of the grocery hero pay was a very unique situation in the labour market.

Industry committee  Thank you very much for this opportunity to appear before the committee. My name is William Wu. I’m a partner in the competition and foreign investment group at McMillan in Toronto. It has been almost 15 years since the last major review of Canadian competition law and competition policy.
