I think you've hit exactly on what we've been talking about—and we've been talking about it for a few years now—which is that the bureau's job is to address private restraints on competition that are anti-competitive and that are violations of the Competition Act. We are evidence-based. We unearth the evidence. We decide if there's sufficient evidence and take the cases to court or settle out of court, which we have the ability to do.
However, there's a whole other basket of restraints on competition that I was speaking to in response to MP Chambers' question. Those are public restraints on competition, which are a problem—as I've said and as we've said repeatedly—throughout the economy and all levels of government. We need something akin to what was done in Australia in the 1990s or to the White House Competition Council, which is in place under the current administration in the United States. We need to have a focus on or to require governments to think about competition when they're drafting regulations, when they're amending regulations or when they're putting in place new laws. They need to think about how it's going to impact competition. That needs to be very deliberate, and it needs to be put in place structurally so that people throughout government at all levels are thinking about these issues.
We're not saying that this is malicious, necessarily, but it has clearly developed into a serious problem in Canada, a lack of awareness of how certain policies impact competition and harm the markets in Canada. We're saying that this needs to be done, and it needs to be done in a whole-of-government way because the problems are at all levels.
