Mr. Speaker, as I just said, that is not at all the case.
I just said that we introduced and passed a bill with harsh penalties for those who target consumers and are involved in these types of activities.
The statistics from the Competition Bureau are very clear.
These are exact examples. As I have said, 33 individuals and 7 companies have been found guilty of price fixing in the province of Quebec, have faced $3 million in fines, and 6 of these individuals have been sentenced to jail time.
That is because of legislation that our government passed, regulations that we put in place, legislation that the NDP should have supported and been aggressive in doing so to ensure that we have these kinds of results protecting consumers.
