Thanks, Chair.
I think the what I'll say here will go back to earlier comments I made regarding regulations and the farmers' privilege. Once again, the agricultural sector is not homogeneous across Canada; there are particular sectors that have particular needs. They may in fact want regulations to be developed for their particular sector. I don't think we should shut that down, which is really what this is doing. It's really saying that the Governor in Council may not make regulations. It's basically shutting down the regulatory process again. I don't think that's constructive, and I don't think it necessarily well serves our agricultural sector.
Of course, the regulatory process that we follow involves extensive consultation. There's a lot of research that goes into regulations. Why are they being put forward? What are the positive and negative consequences that could come about? What do the industry stakeholders think about this? There's a full process for regulations. I don't think it is, as I say, constructive to simply shut down the regulatory process when it comes to this legislation.
