I am not an expert on regulatory sectors, but I have had some experience with complexity. One of the other members of the committee asked about the pre-clearance agreement under the Beyond the Border action plan, which was a bit of a counterpart to the Regulatory Cooperation Council, where stakeholders also rightly have high expectations about progress. The pre-clearance agreement took three years to negotiate because it was complex. There were hard pieces to figure out, such as the rules to govern the border guards on both sides. What is the legal framework to govern the behaviour of border guards on both sides?
Similarly, in the regulatory sector—as I think we all behave when we start off with something new—you get at the low-hanging fruit, and then you get to the hard stuff. The hard stuff takes time because it is complex, whether that's because of capacity, the inherent nature of the work, or perhaps the changing nature of technology. I can't speak to whether there are foot-draggers, but I can tell you that the work they are attacking now is the harder stuff, the complex stuff. I think you will see that the government in the line departments coordinated by PCO is very committed to making real progress.
