You're absolutely right. This was a topic of focus that we covered in our report.
As Mr. Durocher mentioned, at their essence they are things that limit what a property holder can do with their property. Oftentimes, these are included in leases or things of that nature. The effect is that they can ultimately just make it harder for a competitor to get into the same space. It could be the same commercial mall or it also could cover a wider geographic area, but the impact is the same: It can make it harder for an entrant to get in and compete.
There are really a couple of ways that we're thinking about how we can improve competition in this space. One is by using our enforcement mandate. As Mr. Durocher mentioned, we do have an active investigation in that space.
We've also recommended that there may be legislative options for governments to think about limiting the use of these property controls or to ban them entirely, which would obviously be an instrument that would have a much broader effect; whereas the bureau's work is much more on a case-by-case basis and would obviously have to determine the facts to make sure that something would be in violation of the Competition Act.
