Bob Zimmer at the Agriculture and Agri-Food Committee

Thank you.

Thanks for coming today, Kenneth—and thanks to the others for showing up through video conferencing.

I have a few questions, but first I'll introduce myself. I'm Bob Zimmer, and Prince George—Peace River is my riding. We have the prairies in British Columbia, the only section; we carry on the Alberta prairies up by my neck of the woods. We have a lot of grain and canola and those sorts of crops, and a lot of cattle as well.

I've heard a few comments, but first I have a question for Ken.

You mentioned something about being the least regulated as being a negative. Now, from a governmental perspective, usually less regulation is better.

Perhaps you could just qualify what you said.
