Chair, thank you very much.
Witnesses, thank you for being here.
Mr. Janigan, thank you for bringing us through what I'd almost forgotten over the years: the evolution of where the issue of market studies pertinent to this industry--and I'm sure to others--occurred.
Ms. Rodal, I appreciate your comments. I have, as an article of my work on this file for several years now, been concerned and reflective of the time period in which I started, with the first Competition Act amendments that changed the Restrictive Trade Practices Commission back in 1986. I was appalled to learn that the lawyers of McMillan Binch representing Imperial Oil had an uneven hand in recreating or rewriting the Competition Act, such that people were quite able to assume that it was the first time a country had allowed its competition policy to be written by the very people it was meant to police. I think the concern we have all shared over the years is that this act is by, for, and with the consent of only those who are experts in the field, so I appreciate your expertise. It took me quite a long time to even assume some responsibility for being able to answer and address these questions.
But as you wear two hats here, both as a practising lawyer and as a member of the competition bar, I want to ask you, does Osler, Hoskins have any clients who are oil companies?
