I just want to clarify that, again, the people I'm thinking about, Mr. Chair, are not so much the Bank of Montreal, RBC, or some of the other large, federally regulated private workplaces. We're thinking more of trucking companies that are small but are doing work interprovincially. We're thinking about the many railroads that cross provincial boundaries but may not necessarily have the same capacity as the larger ones, and about the small companies that perhaps are doing work offshore of Canada in oil and gas. To be fair, oftentimes these small firms are already doing these things on a regular basis, to keep their staff.
We are talking about the administrative burden and suggesting, instead of it being a hard and fast 30 days, that they have 90 days to come up with and submit a full scheme. I would hope there would be some flexibility, because this is an area where we should not be adding more burden to small firms that are already struggling. It's one more disincentive to performing and hiring. If there are new requirements that come on, especially with a diverse workplace, again, some people may say they don't want to hire, given the uncertainty or the extra paperwork. We want to avoid that.
