The issue of interprovincial trade barriers is enormous in this country. Whether the answer is 12 government departments—I'm not sure that is the answer. You'll know better than I the estimate of what it costs every Canadian family in their standard of living to maintain all these jurisdictions. And one of the industries that is most compromised by this is agriculture, dealing from a national base, where you have to stack a load of hay differently in Manitoba than you do in Saskatchewan. The hidden cost is phenomenal, and it goes straight to the bottom line of the producer, who has to pay all of that.
I'm not saying that one department of agriculture is the answer, but I'll tell you this. What B.C. and Alberta did on April 1—I live for the day when other provinces take the logical decision to say let's join them, because nationally it's a really big issue for all the farm producers in this country and anybody else doing business. We are the only major trading nation in the world that expects our companies to compete globally but routinely denies them elements of the domestic market. No one else does that. We do it as a matter of course, and in agriculture it's particularly serious.
