I have just come back from the Toronto region. This morning, the gasoline price went up to 99¢ a litre because of a problem experienced by the oil companies. A few years ago, we were told that consumers would benefit. Steps were taken to amend the Competition Act. Bill C-41 sets out financial penalties rather than damages for victims of anti-competitive practices.
How do you see the future of small- and medium-sized businesses that have to deal with possible anti-competitive practices? Will the $15 million that the government receives go to help small businesses that are affected by such practices?
