Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome, and thank you for coming out to this interesting discussion on gas prices.
In 2003 the Competition Bureau and the chair at that time, the competition commissioner, said: “But we have never found any evidence of any kind of collusion except at a very local level, usually a bunch of stations getting together and trying to maintain the price at a certain level.” Do you believe there's collusion, and can you speak to me about whether you believe that at this time there is collusion and price gouging in the industry?
