Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm not a regular member of this committee, so I'm a bit of a johnny-come-lately here.
I must admit that Mr. Masse's line of questioning is intriguing, in the sense that a private inspector has an inherent conflict of interest. I don't think a private inspector, versus a government inspector, in terms of inspecting the pump is going to do a substantially different job. But the private inspector has built in a conflict of interest, and that is, he wants to sell other services to the gas station owner. I don't know what all those other services might be, but it seems to me that this conflict of interest may be from time to time weighted in favour of the owner of the gas station, versus the consumer of the products at the gas station. Do you have an opinion on that matter?
