I invite the hon. member to have that discussion with his whip. I would simply add that I did mention that it should be a brief question, because there was only one minute left. The hon. member used up almost the whole minute. This means we have no time left, but I will give the hon. member for Foothills the opportunity to answer.

Madam Speaker, this is the third speech in a row that this has happened. Obviously the first opportunity to ask a question goes to the the Conservatives, but not one of them has stood up to ask me a question. I appreciate that. I understand if they are afraid to do that. I will answer the question from the member of the Bloc, and he makes a very good point. Not only can that monopoly develop through collaboration, but, looking at game theory, that collaboration can also happen through the practice of different companies making certain moves without actually having a verbal discussion about it. These are the things that we need to look into. This motion particularly calls on finding out if it is happening and, if so, how that increase has occurred, specifically as it relates to prices going up based on the monopoly.
