Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'd certainly like to thank all of the witnesses today. Competitiveness in Canada is a very broad subject, and you've each brought your own perspective to the issue. I would like to focus on the Competition Act itself.
First of all, I'd like to ask Monsieur Vaillancourt about some of his testimony in relation to one section of the act, the abuse of dominance provision. Just so you know, Monsieur Vaillancourt, we've heard many opinions related to the Competition Act. Another area involves the efficiencies defence and some people feeling that it should be very much modified, if not done away with.
I have a fundamental question. Is it time for the federal government to conduct or commission an in-depth review of the act as a whole?
