Re Canda's Competition Bureau and the MLS system
This is an important issue because it affects the majority of the population, our nation's largest industry and the principle of freedom of choice. Of our millions of households 30% are rented but 70% are owner occupied. 20% of all homes are sold each year and that number has been consistent for 25 years. So the majority of the population have a stake in the cost of selling thier home. This is the largest single industry in the country-not autos, not mining, not agriculture - nothing is bigger than real estate/construction. This is a political issue as well because it is about consumers having a choice and about tens of thousands of realtors having the choice to freely offer various service packages at different pricing instead of 5% fits all.
