Indeed, this bill does not have 7, 8 or 10 clauses, it just has one. So I think that the bill is clear. I want the Competition Bureau to have investigative powers. However, I did not want to provide details about a wide variety of things because that would diminish the bill. This is a bill that will give the Competition Bureau investigative powers so that it can do its job.
We know that the budget of the Competition Bureau is only $39 million per year, which is not a great deal of money to do inquiries throughout Canada into all industry sectors. I realize that there is a lack of resources and money and I do believe that this money should be used to protect both Canadian and Quebec consumers.
