Thank you.
I haven't had a chance to get Professor Iacobucci and Professor Quaid in, so I want to take the opportunity to have them reflect on European law. A good example is the U.K., which just extended their windfall taxes on oil and gas. As Mr. Ross mentioned, that's one strategy out there.
All we have available to us as a tool, and what Mr. Singh had available to him, is a private member's bill, which was eclipsed by other stuff. We can either choose to make some improvements or ignore it altogether and wait for probably another three years to do anything.
Where do we fit in now that we've had Bill C-19, Bill C-56, Bill C-59 and Bill C-352, whatever we choose to do with it, compared to our American and European colleagues, in your opinion, as it pertains to competition protection for Canadians? I'd really appreciate your input and analysis. I know it's pretty hard to do, but just give us a snapshot of where we are.
I understand you're advocating—and so am I—for a larger picture, but this is what we have in front of us, and we have it for a lot of different reasons. It's part of our democratic process until we get a government that wants to do a full review.
