Finance committee  Not from what I've read so far.

Finance committee  I think the first point is that we have made some progress. I'm not the only one to have said that of course the existence of competitive markets and a functioning competitive system does contribute to keeping price levels down. It's also being responsive to demand because it's n

Finance committee  Speaking carefully, because it's a small group of people who are associated with the tribunal, I think that part of it is the original structure of how the tribunal was created. It has a right of appeal. It's not quite a court, not quite an administrative tribunal. It's trying to

Finance committee  I think others, who have appeared before me, have made some good suggestions. I don't think it's enough, and I do think it's an important issue.

Finance committee  No, not completely.

Finance committee  I'll try to respond briefly. Mergers are something that has been modified over the past couple of bills. What I worry about is that we're doing things that make good sound bites but don't necessarily fit into an overall structure. One of my worries is that we repealed the effic

Finance committee  Mr. Chair, Deputy Chairs, members of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance, good morning. For those who don't know me, I'm an associate professor and vice-dean of research at the University of Ottawa's Civil Law Section. My areas of expertise are corporate criminal

Industry committee  I agree. To go back to the fact that we do have examples elsewhere, we have high-risk industries that exist already. The nuclear industry is one of them, but there's also finance. I disagree slightly with Mr. Gagné, because to the extent that the Americans are doing something,

Industry committee  We talked about this a little bit in our written brief, but not in a lot of detail. Now I can draw on a different example, which is securities regulation. I think these amendments are in the right direction. I made comments in the brief that they probably don't go far enough. Par

Industry committee  I can speak for Professor Castets-Renard as well on this point. We are of the view that it is better to proceed with this bill. It is improvable. We have identified the things that we think should be improved. I do think that making sure there are sufficient resources and an inst

Industry committee  You are the experts of your own procedures. I'm not going to lecture you on how the legislative process should happen. I will allow myself this small editorial comment. It's funny, on the one hand, that the AI bill has been moving slowly and has sat for a while. There was an or

Industry committee  I am a planner, like many busy working mothers. I'm thinking that maybe you can already start checking out.... If you like my idea of creating an agency, for example—just to pick a random one—maybe you would start already looking at some possible structures and what's being done

Industry committee  I think this is the central challenge. You need to figure out.... We're having this same conversation in competition, namely, of how do we adjust to the digital economy? That's a word I don't like. It's the new economy, which has a lot of digital artifacts. There's a lot of exp

Industry committee  I guess you could ask yourself whether the Europeans have done it. Maybe Céline wants to say something about how well they have navigated the necessity of integrating these considerations. I think the European system already lends itself to this necessity of dialogue. This trial

Industry committee  Are you sure you have the right testimony? I have never appeared before that committee, but anyway I will listen to your question.
