Thank you, Madam Chair.

I want to ask a question about section 32 of the Competition Act, which authorizes the Federal Court to restrict any competitive exercise of intellectual property rights, but only in proceedings initiated by the Attorney General of Canada. I'm just wondering if you think it would be a good idea to grant the Competition Bureau itself the power to initiate proceedings under section 32 of the act.
