My question is for Ms. Rodal.
When you are driving down the street, and you notice that all the gas stations in the city have their gas advertised at the same price, that does not surprise you?
Right now, even if it receives complaints of that nature, the Competition Bureau does not do anything. So Bill C-452 would give the commissioner the authority to conduct an inquiry in that kind of situation.
My understanding was that the Competition Bureau had all the power it needed. In this case, does the Competition Bureau currently have all the authority it needs to launch such an inquiry? If so, is it a lack of resources that prevents the bureau from responding and carrying out a market study in that kind of situation?
