Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to swing back to some changes that have already happened and some that we're looking at in this bill. Bill C-56 gave new powers to the minister to do market studies. Mr. Bester, I'm not sure if you're aware, but a letter went out. The Competition Bureau was going to study airline competition, which was great news for everyone. Then a letter went out from the industry minister saying that, while this was great, it should focus on domestic competition and stay away from the airports. We had concerns in this committee that maybe giving all of this power to the minister was a bad idea, and we're seeing that.
The Competition Bureau was here the other day, and I asked them a question. I didn't get a direct answer online, but off-line they said that yes, the terms of reference have to be made with the industry minister. Should the minister be involved in directing where the bureau should be looking with an important piece like airline competition?
