Madam Speaker, competition is for oil companies too. Funny how the price of gas never goes down, only up. Regulation is not always a cure-all, but it is the right solution in this case because the players are not trustworthy. If they were, we might be inclined to let them self-regulate, but they have shown that that was not good enough, particularly when they refused to answer questions from the Competition Bureau. I think that the proposed legislation seeks to restore consumer confidence in the bureau's services. I do not believe that there will be a loss of efficiency. I think that we will see increased efficiency, because the players will have no other choice.

Madam Speaker, the section of the legislation on artificial intelligence, or AI, suggests self‑regulation. I would like to know whether my colleague supports self‑regulation or if, on the contrary, the state should further regulate the use of AI.

Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. It was extremely important. It is sad that we have come to a point where we need to legislate something as important as this. What sorts of controls would my colleague recommend for companies that do not already have basic ethical standards in place to self-regulate in such cases?
