The competition policy review panel was struck in 2008. It was an expert panel, led by Red Wilson. The report they came out with also came out in 2008; it's often called the Wilson report. As part of their review of Canada's competitiveness, they reviewed the Competition Act and the Investment Canada Act and made recommendations on how the Investment Canada Act could be improved, mostly how it could be liberalized.
But they made a number of recommendations around how it could be made more transparent. Some of those recommendations were adopted in 2009 through amendments to the act that allowed for more communication of information about the review process. The amendments that are in this budget bill would build on the 2009 amendments to increase transparency.
