It would take a route that would increase the burden and workload on all, including on the bureau, but not actually achieve the desired effect, because it would then allow them to still continue to benefit from a one-year period.
I think it's important to note that we've already taken steps in previous bills, including specifically in Bill C-59. There was consultation on this issue through the overall consultation on competition reform. It was seen to be important to provide more time for the commissioner to review, but not in cases where the bureau isn't aware of the transaction in advance. That's the difference between Bill C-59's approach and what's being proposed here, aside from the drafting issue I just noted.
It comes down to a question of why you'd want to increase business uncertainty over a longer period of time when an organization has already gone through the step of advising the bureau in advance of its activities of the proposed merger.
