Thank you.
Mr. Boswell, former minister Navdeep Bains wrote a letter to you back in 2019 as you assumed your new role as the commissioner of competition. Within that letter, Mr. Bains emphasized creating a competitive environment where small and medium-sized enterprises can thrive. Recent numbers have shown a 3.8% jump in insolvencies from 2024 to 2025. My riding alone has a rate that's one of the highest in the country.
Mr. Boswell, what concrete steps has the bureau taken to ensure that small and medium-sized businesses aren't squeezed out by the bigger companies?
