Thank you, Mr. Chair. You're doing a great job so far.
Thank you to our panellists. This is a super panel on competition. It's great to have everyone here.
Dr. Quaid, you asked the question of why we are doing this. That's a really good question. I think Canadians right now understand that we have little competition. We have been spending the last few meetings specifically talking about what Canadians are seeing from the mergers that have been approved. This government approved HSBC and RBC, WestJet and Sunwing, and Rogers and Shaw. They really had little to do with the law.
Of course, Rogers-Shaw went through the tribunal. This panel was the one that said it didn't want to see that go through. We thought it would be uncompetitive. It still went through the tribunal, but the government had the chance to say no. The NDP could have stood up to the government—they have a supply agreement—to say no. That didn't happen.
Mr. Hatfield, it's been over a year now since that merger went through, and this government is claiming that prices have plummeted. From your angle at OpenMedia, are prices and bills down for Canadians?
