Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I will start and then my colleagues will continue on.
I think you are all familiar with the Canadian Bar Association as a national association representing over 37,000 jurists across Canada. Amongst our objectives are the improvement of the law and the improvement of the administration of justice. It's with that optic that we have studied the bill in front of us today and we make the comments.
I should point out that both our privacy and access law section as well as our competition law section have analyzed the bill.
Mr. Fraser will address the general parts of the bill and then Mr. Alexander-Cook will look at the Competition Act aspects.
