Thank you very much, Madam Chair.

I know that in recent years, the European Commission has been much more active in enforcing competition rules on big tech companies such as Amazon, Google and Facebook. Does the Competition Bureau have enough resources and legal powers to effectively enforce competition rules against big tech companies? More importantly, does the Competition Act provide high enough penalties to discourage big tech companies from engaging in anti-competitive practices?
