Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the Minister of Finance.
We know now that our friends in the United States and in Europe are toughening up their merger legislation. At the same time Canada is just trundling along as it has before never really seriously looking at mergers and anti-competitive activities.
Why is the government not prepared to stand up for consumers in a competitive market structure? Why is it more prepared to run the franchise “Mergers R Us”?
