Okay. I have one last one.
The Sun-Postmedia merger we reviewed in October 2014. In that examination we interviewed over 50 market participants, examined thousands of documents, compelled significant data and documents from the merging parties, and engaged an independent economic expert. We also sought the views of Canadian consumers. Our review focused on the effect of the transaction on competition for both advertising and readership in the cities where both parties operated local daily newspapers. Based on the evidence gathered, we concluded that a single owner of both papers would have insufficient additional power in the market to be able to materially increase prices.
The commissioner of competition recognizes that the public is served by a diversity of voices in the media landscape. It provides citizens with the freedom to form their own opinions, which in turn contributes to a healthy democratic society. As with our counterparts at other competition law enforcement agencies in other countries, our act is a general framework legislation applicable to all sectors of the economy, and it is not intended or designed to address issues of a social or cultural nature.
Thank you. I'll turn it over briefly to my colleague, Paul—
