I'd be happy to add a couple of words on that. I agree with what Professor Quaid said. I also want to hearken back to what the commissioner said when he spoke to you.
As ambitious as this reform process has been with the number of changes that have come forward—many of them good—there may be a bit of a missed opportunity. As Professor Quaid said, we didn't really revisit the goals we're trying to achieve with this, which could make our efforts seem a bit muddled and disconnected from each other. We also didn't think very much about the institutions. I think Professor Quaid was hinting at that. Do we have the right system here or should we move to more of a commission administrative structure where decisions can come out more quickly, as other jurisdictions have?
As the commissioner himself said, if we really want to push competition in Canada, we need a “whole-of-government approach”. I know the commissioner told the committee this. We need all levels of government to get on board to change the way we regulate, control and protect certain industries and sectors.
He mentioned the Australian Productivity Commission. Something like that could be a very positive thing. That's been suggested for Canada before and has not happened. It's something that goes beyond competition policy. The Competition Act, the bureau and the tribunal just take care of one big slice of competition in Canada, not the whole pie, so I'm with the commissioner on our need for more of a whole-of-government approach.
