Thank you to our witnesses for some excellent presentations, a little polarized, but I think that's to be expected. It allows the committee to get to the heart of the matter.
One of the things that I think we all support—I know that we in the Liberal Party of Canada do—are initiatives to reduce unnecessary red tape. We also feel that this exercise is incredibly important, because if we get this wrong, if there's an error in how this is administered, we lose momentum on the initiative. That's why I think we really want to dig down into whether or not the law of unforeseen consequences may come into play here. It sounds pretty simple and straightforward—reduce red tape; if you want to introduce a regulation, you've got to eliminate a regulation—but it can indeed potentially invoke the law of unintended consequences.
Let me ask a question of our witness from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.
Have you identified any regulations that impose an administrative burden on a business—potentially a large corporation or a small corporation—which you like, and which you feel are necessary, valuable, and help in the administration of a fair and even playing field in the free market?
