Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you to the witnesses for being with us this afternoon.
My colleague Mr. Jowhari essentially stole all of my first questions for Commissioner Boswell on the notion of section 96 and the efficiency defence. I was going to pursue that line of questioning to find out what other nations have that type of section within their legislation, so thank you, Commissioner, for answering that and addressing the notion of a comprehensive review. I understand that you're open to doing it and are looking forward to seeing it happen. If I can, I'd like to follow up with you on that.
I believe you came to this committee in December and testified that the bureau is facing some challenging resource constraints. You stated, notably, that the bureau's budget fell by almost 10% in the last 10 years, in real dollars.
Do these constraints extend to the merger review process? If so, how have they hindered the bureau's ability to undertake significant reviews such as this?
