That's fair enough. I think that's the role of the consultation process. As legislators, you absolutely have the power—and I think this is the right way to look at it—to look at the state of the rules and propose changes, and I forcefully encourage you to do so. I believe there are problems with the merger review provision, but I worry about using this discretionary decision as a workaround while we wait to make real changes to the law.
