Prices in Quebec are regulated; there is a floor price. If you take Mr. Irvine's data and raw data, and if you take the price of gas at the pump and remove the taxes—because they vary from province to the next… if you compare prices in Quebec to those in the Atlantic region, Ontario and Western Canada, you will see that Quebec has the lowest before-tax prices. I believe Ms. Savage would agree with me on that.
A number of factors are responsible for the current situation. First of all, Quebec has a diversity of retail companies operating because of the fact that there is a large number of independents. We also have an independent importer who, in a way, acts as a sort of watchdog with the refineries.
Quebec has regulations, but it also has some of the best prices in Canada.
