Dr Mark Berry will stand down as chairman of the country's consumer and competition watchdog after 10 years at the helm. He joins Kathryn to talk about how the Commerce Commission has been using its expanded powers to conduct market studies, some of the tougher determinations during his tenure and what areas he thinks still need tighter regulation.
