Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

My first question is for Mr. Janigan.

You said that the OECD recommended that we institute a power to implement market studies. If I am interpreting your comments correctly, that means that the Competition Bureau currently does not have the power to implement market studies.

Does Bill C-452 address the OECD's recommendation, in other words, does it have a provision that would give the commissioner the power to implement market studies?
