Okay. I want to end the Liberal filibuster, so we'll continue relatively quickly.
That was quite a lengthy discussion—one that was worthy of Kevin Lamoureux—about the threshold and the remediation.
I'm not against there being a punitive element to mergers that would have to.... I understand there is some calculation, but these are going to be large, sometimes multinational corporations. Many times, they will be million-dollar corporations or corporations worth tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. These are folks who employ some very intelligent people who can calculate whether it would be substantial, or at least if it's getting pretty darn close.
If you're going to go ahead, knowing that you're going to violate merger legislation, I am completely fine with the RBCs of the world and the Loblaws of the world having to face a somewhat punitive impact of going ahead with a merger that they know is reducing competition at a time in Canada when all experts and all parties agree we need more competition.
Thanks very much. I'm glad to see the end of the Liberal filibuster.
