Yes, like thinking of the legislation as a time machine.... Right now, the Competition Bureau has this ability to issue something called an “advance ruling certificate”. It's an ARC for mergers. This commits the bureau to never reviewing a merger again after it's already been reviewed, so we could consider whether that's truly useful and helps us. But again, unless we also take another look at the thresholds that prompt a merger review, I think we are probably missing a lot of really thoughtful interrogation that we could have in Canada, which, once again, no one else is going to do for us. It's truly up to us to be thoughtful about what's occurring in our own backyard.
