Thank you, Madam Chair. I'll start off with Ms. Tiessen.

Thank you for your testimony, Ms. Tiessen. One of the specific things you actually referenced in your testimony was changes that were made to the Competition Act in 2009. More specifically, you talked about the removal of the term “purchase”. Could you share with us what the previous government's rationale was at the time for removing the definition of “purchase”?
