I think many people in the public don't know about the Competition Bureau, because the bureau has had very few opportunities to score triumphs that get them in the public eye. Many people know that they opposed Roger-Shaw, but that didn't work out.
When we look at how competition law has played out to date, it has very deeply hamstrung the bureau's ability to function. At the end of Bill C-59, but also with some of Bill C-352's ideas, it would be healthy to see some interpretive flexibility and scope for the bureau to do things like assess market definitions in a way they think makes the most sense for Canadian consumers.
In terms of the threshold question we were just discussing, it could be in the legislation or we could amend the legislation to establish a principle that would imply what the guidelines should be on that threshold. However, I think there's a signatory effect of saying that you better have a really strong case if you think you'll get a merger above a 60% threshold, which peer review does accomplish. I worry less that small businesses and small towns would be caught up by that, because the bureau could just look at the market in different ways to make sure they aren't hurting folks in those very specific circumstances.
