Sorry, but I don't think I can speak directly to the problems in those industries. I know for a fact that those kinds of studies have had good results in other countries, such as in the U.K. When Richard Taylor, the Deputy Commissioner of Competition, attended before this committee in October 2006, he spoke of market studies that had been done in the U.K. on car dealerships. They resulted in significant changes in the industry. As he said, these studies aren't just filed on a shelf to collect dust; they've had actual results.
