Mr. MacKay, you spoke rather at length about problems relating to safety and security at retail outlets. You talked about ad hoc standards and I imagine that when these standards are provided to you, you must adapt to them quite quickly.
Are you faced with overlapping standards, in other words municipal standards, provincial standards and federal standards?
You talk about a certain amount of contradiction. I would like you to explain that further. You mentioned certain solutions, but what exactly is it that should be changed with regard to these standards? More particularly, how do we ensure that the safety of users and consumers who go to their agri- retailers will be preserved?
What solution could we suggest to the government in the end? Safety standards must be established; we all agree on that. There must be some logic behind the implementation of these standards. I believe that you are the best people to advise us in this regard.
