I would like to speak in general terms about the work carried out by the Competition Bureau. When a situation affecting a specific market is brought to our attention, the first thing we do is review the allegations. We try to determine whether the allegations or alleged conduct may have a connection with the Competition Act. If that is the case, the next step is to see whether the facts support the allegations. Following an investigation, if we determine that serious questions are raised under the Competition Act, we have the ability to raise the issue before the courts.
