Mr. Speaker, I want to first thank the hon. member on his remarks earlier. I know that his items will be considered within the industry committee and I am sure will have some discussion.
The hon. member brings up a very good point on e-commerce. This is still a developing area, an area on the global scene, and there is more and more discussion going on. I believe there will be a stage when we get more global understanding of what e-commerce is, how it is going to operate, how it is not going to operate and the basic rules of e-commerce which need to be established on the global scene. Those items will then have to be rolled into the Competition Act as we move forward.
There are other items in the Competition Act which will make it very important for us to consider, the telemarketing of today and the telemarketing of tomorrow, as the member opposite has brought forward through the e-commerce.
It is important that those items be considered in committee in order to detail how these things are going to happen in the future. I thank the member for his remarks. I know he is looking down the road at additional things in terms of how the world will change. That is the situation we find ourselves in with this Competition Act. We need to bring it up to date. It has been brought forward since 1986. We need to get the best information we can in relation to the Competition Act so we can prepare ourselves for the future.
