Mr. Gerry Birks (Senior Competition Law Officer, Competition Bureau): Excuse me, Mr. Murphy, I
should let you know that in the context of Canada Trust-TD, we have not in a formal process but in an in
formal process gone back to the Bank of Montreal, which was the main acquisitor of assets, branches at that time, to see what they'd done with those branches, and they indicate that they're continuing to operate most, if not all, of them, and that they are running according to the bus
iness plan they had ...[+++]anticipated at the time.
Toutefois, pour ce qui est de faire une analyse complète a posteriori, nous ne le faisons pas couramment. M. Gerry Birks (agent principal du droit de la concurrence, Bureau de la concurrence): Excusez-moi, monsieur Murphy, je devrais peut-être mentionner que, dans le cas Toronto-Dominion-Canada Trust, nous avons procédé à titre informel à une analyse auprès de la Banque de Montréal qui avait racheté le plus gros des succursales à l'époque.
