I thank the honourable member for the question.
There aren't a lot of examples where the efficiencies exception has been relied upon in mergers in the grocery industry in Canada. There is an interesting example from 2019 that serves to underscore why the efficiencies defence should be repealed, which was CN purchasing a company called H&R Transport. The bureau found that this transaction was going to result in a substantial lessening of competition in eight markets. The key service in question was refrigerated intermodal transport in eight local markets in Canada, which was going to drive up the price of foodstuffs. We examined the efficiencies advanced by the party and came to the conclusion that the defence applied, and we had to allow the merger to go ahead. There's an example of how the efficiencies exception in real life can ultimately end up costing Canadians more money.
