Thank you for your answer. That was very clear. May I just point out that the minister who appeared earlier still hasn't signed off on the acquisition, since it would create an upheaval in the highly concentrated finance market? I do understand your answer, however. Thank you.
Let's turn to the grocery and food sector, since that is what the bill is meant to address, according to you. The level of market concentration we've seen in recent decades has been appalling. We've gone from a few dozen chains or grocers to three—five, if we add Walmart and Costco. Those five control 80% of the market.
Bill C‑56 is helpful because it would prevent that type of concentration going forward, putting an end to the phenomenon. However, it wouldn't automatically lead to new grocery entrants. I heard you tell Mr. Weiler that you would like to see a U.S. grocer enter the market.
After Bill C‑56, isn't it necessary to tackle the issue at a deeper level? If we want to see profits at a more acceptable level in the grocery and food sector, don't we need to rethink the abuse of dominance, to prevent big players from taking advantage of their disproportionate market share and passing on higher input costs to consumers, as the Governor of the Bank of Canada told us?
