Thank you, Chair.
First, we have to recognize that Canada, by population, is small at 40 million; geographically, we are very big.
Our southern neighbour has a big population, big economy, etc., so we are in some sort of a special situation when it comes to allowing, or not allowing, companies to scale up and serve Canadians across this vast country.
Professor Larouche, I'm glad to hear your comments on the length and complexity that is there. The only people who benefit from the complexity are the lawyers, and it just adds to the cost of administering the competition laws in the public sector and in dealing with these big companies.
You also mentioned the institutional framework. I have so many bills regarding this particular issue. Are you suggesting that maybe we should have a totally new bill starting from scratch? It's not as if that were possible, but I'm just saying so.
