You've given me a challenge. I'll do my best.
The idea is the following.
I'm not saying that we absolutely imitate the Competition Bureau; there are some things that we could do differently. The kind of legislation that is imagined here has some similarities to the kind of legislation that is in the Competition Act. That is to say, it's responsible for a whole array of responses: true criminal, regulatory, administrative and civil. There is a specialized tribunal with that, but we don't need to talk about that right now.
I think the point is that it has developed an expertise and it has a large permanent staff divided into directorates. It's developed a digital intelligence agency.
Those things support what I think other witnesses have been skeptical about, which is the capacity to actually deliver on this.
The U.S. has basically not made a secret of it. They've just said, “Let's use our strong antitrust institutions while we wait to create something else”. In some ways, we would be consistent with what's being done there.
The other thing I really want to insist on—sorry, it's an extra 10 seconds—is that having an agency headed by an independent commissioner will allow Canada to participate in the international arena. That is how you get around these enforceability problems: You have to work with your friends.
In Canada, we might only target local things, but we need to work with allies and we need a player at the table for that.
