I didn't hear Mr. Vigneault say that there were too many regulations. I heard him say that there were a number of levels of regulation. He was asking that people be able to talk to each other and exchange views in order to come to a satisfactory result for producers. I didn't hear him say that there were too many regulations.
As far as we're concerned, as citizens—I told you this earlier—we could say the same thing about the governments that govern us: there are too many regulations. You have to go beyond that and see to the promotion of a living regional agriculture in Canada.
The government should therefore ask itself what it can do that is as economic as possible in order to keep these people in place, while enabling them to enjoy living conditions similar to those of society, to those of people we live beside every day. It should ask itself what it can give the agricultural producer to make him a full-fledged citizen in his community, in the same respect as a teacher, journalist or someone who works in any trade. It should ask itself what it can give him, given the risks he must take. Let's think about weather conditions, the unknown aspects of the market, globalization. The government should ask itself what it can give him that is as economic as possible. That's the question.
In this context, a form of regulation is necessary to enable us, as producers, to face everything that comes from outside the country.
