Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you also to all the witnesses here today who took the time to come to Ottawa to meet with us. I also thank the witnesses who are appearing via video conference.
I have two questions for you, Ms. Senneville.
I'm going to be perfectly honest with you, I was taken aback twice during your presentation. I want to offer you the chance to clarify what you meant.
First, you said that the domestic market had very low potential.
According to economic studies, we're talking about growing Canada's GDP by $200 billion. You also mentioned increasing productivity. These measures will indeed increase productivity by 7%, but also reduce prices by 15%.
I would like you to expand on that.
Second, you said that internal trade barriers are a myth. I will confess that I had never heard that one before.
Mr. Manucha gave a bunch of examples of internal trade barriers within Canada. Do you have any concrete counter-examples that would explain why it's a myth and there may not be as many barriers as we think?
I'd like some clarification on those two points.
