Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'm just here as a guest today too, but I'm shocked by what I'm hearing. I come from Oshawa, and we compete internationally in the auto industry. My concern is about having a bill that throws us so out of balance internationally and about how it will affect our competitiveness internationally.
Internationally, do any of our competing countries around the world have a law like this?
We talked about domestic competitors. But if foreign competitors had branch offices in Canada and wanted to use frivolous cases for anti-competitive reasons, could that happen?
I have perhaps one more question, Mr. Everson. Do you have any idea what this bill would cost our economy at a time when there is a global economic downturn?
