Thank you, Madam Speaker. I'm glad that you've given me more titles and responsibilities. Madam Speaker, I just want to say this to the honourable Member. In some of these cases, the jurisdiction does exist, but the authority rests in the hands of the federal government. What we need to do is advise those communities or individuals who are having problems in the area of price gouging to take the appropriate steps and to address the appropriate legislation and use the mechanisms. As I indicated to the honourable Member, we would be prepared to provide assistance to the honourable Member and his constituents -- and to other Members -- when they feel there is a need for us to intervene or to bring the concerns to the attention of the appropriate agency.
