Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'm going to return to the issues related to the Competition Bureau, because I think they're really important.
To go back to Mr. Vaillancourt and Ms. Larkin, what is Canada's reputation with regard to our current laws, which are out of step with those of the United States and Europe? I hear from different congressional and Senate members regularly about the fact that we are a bit behind. Concerns are expressed about our trade relations in that regard.
I'm just wondering whether there is a broad range, especially among the academic community and so forth, of an appreciation that Canada is out of step with the rest of the world, especially with the digital economy emerging to be quite the discussion point.
