Again, Mr. Chair, I'll be fairly brief on this one. Clause 8 is dealing with regulations and has three different bullet points. I think we'd all agree, or should agree at least, that the government needs to follow due process in exercising its regulatory authority, but this clause 8, as it is before us in its unamended form, doesn't follow due process, and we'll vote against it. Really, the preference would be to delete it entirely from the bill, to save the member opposite from embarrassment. As it stands, we'll be voting against it.
