If I was hearing correctly the last time we were here, there was some concern from some of the members about whether we had consulted with the Competition Bureau on this provision. I can assure you that this whole provision was done in very close consultation with the Competition Bureau. In fact, before anything goes before cabinet, the ministers have to agree to it. I can tell you that in having this bill tabled, the Minister of Industry, who is the minister responsible for the Competition Bureau, was around the cabinet table. It was part of the approval of this bill.
What we try to do, to address Mr. McGuinty's concerns, is to provide flexibility in terms of what will be developed as part of the guidelines for the public interest, to make sure we cover everything. It's not our intent to duplicate what is in the Competition Bureau, and it is fully our intent to work with them in developing our guidelines to try to minimize that duplication. I think you read in the submission from the competition commissioner that there will have to be a little bit, but the objective is to minimize it.
Our focus—the Minister of Transport focus—will be on the public interest. The competition commissioner's will continue to be on the competition issues, and she or he will follow the process that they follow today. They will come together in the end with one recommendation to cabinet. So there is no intent to duplicate efforts here.
