We've certainly seen the comparative under-resourcing of our own Competition Bureau when it's put in that international context. I can't speak to the bureau having to pick and choose where to enforce. However, I can also say that I believe that a review of the Competition Act was hinted at, maybe in one of the more recent mandate letters, in an interview in the Globe and Mail with the outgoing minister of innovation. It was previewed that the Competition Act might be reviewed or that it was a policy priority. Again, I wonder and I worry that we're all just dancing around the same conversation.
Second, there's more public discourse on competition policy right now. That's really healthy and good, but I pointed to the capture in the sector. Earlier this week, there was an op-ed in the National Post by three Bay Street lawyers that was framed as a kind of response to something Robin and I had written. That's wonderful and I'm happy to hear other perspectives, but I do wonder about their client list and the other interests they're protecting. We need more transparency. Let's just call a spatula a spatula here.
Thank you.
