I did not want the Competition Bureau to be restricted to doing very limited work. If it believes that it has a case and reasonable grounds, it should be able to investigate. Earlier I gave an example of these grounds. Refineries, regardless of what company we are talking about, always set prices at the beginning of the month. Why is it that the price is always the same from one company to the next? It seems to me that this indicator constitutes sufficient grounds justifying an inquiry. The price should not be the same.
We talked about refining earlier. I am certain that this is a very worrisome situation. Shell shut down in Quebec. There are three refineries in Quebec running at 95% capacity. They are more or less running at full capacity. By shutting one of these refineries down, we will create a scarcity because it will be impossible to refine enough oil to meet the demand. So there will be restricted access to oil. The price of a litre of gas will increase at the pump, people will consume less, and life is good.
