Mr. Chair, one of the reasons we pushed this aside and set it aside was that although it was sent out by you on November 2, 2006, members had not received the Competition Bureau's submission on Bill C-11. I think we distributed it at the last meeting.The clerk made copies available.
Before moving any subamendment, I'd certainly like to treat the merits of this serious brief that was put forward. This was put forward in the absence of knowledge of even Transport Canada officials. I'm not sure why it would happen, but it did.
It might be useful for us to examine some of the merits of the concerns raised by the Competition Bureau. It was the thing that struck me when I first read the M and A section, the mergers and acquisition section, of the bill.
