That's the history of the provision, and if I may, Mr. Chair, I'd like to add something here.
In order to ensure fair competition, the Parliament of Canada decided to give the commissioner of competition that power, and I think one way of looking at this would be to say that if we want to have fair elections, as opposed to fair competition, why would we not give or why would Parliament not give to the commissioner the same kind of power that the other commissioners have to ensure fair competition? It seems to me that the set of values at play is at least equivalent and therefore it seems to me that Parliament would certainly be consistent with itself if it decided to do for fair elections what it has quite clearly chosen to do for fair competition.
