Thank you, Mr. Chair.
You say that the government wants to tackle the causes or the effects. However, there are special situations. I will give you an example. In remote regions such as Nunavut or elsewhere in the north, or even in certain rural regions, no competition is possible simply because it is not profitable. The prohibition on anti-competitive practices does not make a lot of sense for the communities living there.
So it is not logical to impose rules to eliminate the possibility of using a monopoly position to raise prices unreasonably.
