Mr. Speaker, I would like to begin by thanking my colleague for taking part in this opposition day and for his cooperation on this issue throughout the day.
Clearly, the shortage of refineries and the lack of competition on the market pose a problem. I talked about Montreal, where only two players are left. The situation is worse in Quebec City, where only one player sells oil to everyone.
My colleague is talking about something that all drivers and gas consumers know and see: prices all change at the same time, systematically.
Earlier today, my colleague from Saint-Bruno—Saint-Hubert spoke about how prices often go up on the Thursday before a three- or four-day holiday weekend.
If there is no collusion, if there truly is competition, then this is strange. We would not expect this to happen in a real market where there is true competition.
