Madam Chair, regarding these clause discussions, I don't like the vibe created in the room if we just sit silently. If we're opposed to a motion, I like to offer some logic, including perhaps on some data issues that impacted the first proposed amendments.
With respect to this one, one reservation I have is really about the public interest. I know that was the intent of the proposal, but I think the policy reason behind the proposal makes sense. I don't think the competition regulator is particularly well-positioned to assess the public interest. I think that is a policy decision.
For that reason, I'll be voting against the proposed amendment. I think that sometimes we owe it to one another to explain our rationale rather than sit silently.
