Let's refer to an example, then. In the construction sector, for instance, the commissioner can launch a public inquiry or a police investigation. They can be similar.
Let's consider a specific sector. Say I am the commissioner, and I see what is happening in the construction sector. I will try to identify any competition that could possibly exist in that sector, and not just in Quebec, because I get the sense that is how it works everywhere. Even though it imposes costs, as you say, the fact remains that, in this situation, there are certain things that suggest the bidding up of prices. Some stakeholders could have agreements to increase costs by 30%, which represents billions of dollars. Therefore, it would be beneficial to invest a few million so the commissioner, who wants to look into the matter more closely, could conduct an inquiry in order to determine exactly where competition stands in a particular sector and find a solution.
So, Mr. Janigan, under Bill C-452, could the commissioner decide to conduct an examination of the state of competition in the construction sector, in an efficient and effective manner, of course?
