Thank you very much, Chair.
I'm not sure that I'm going to take up five minutes; however, they do pass very quickly, as we are very aware, and we often try to keep answers short.
I want to go back to the intervention that my colleague Ms. Gaudreau made. I have to agree with her when it comes to the sandboxes, as you refer to them, that are included in part 2 of Bill C-15. These sandboxes, which I believe are proposed subsections 12(3) and 12(7) in the act, are at best ambiguous and only require the agreement of one other minister within cabinet, which I think would be fairly easy to find.
When you think about the fact that you are providing the ability for a minister to exempt a company or an individual at their discretion, what you are actually doing is providing a minister the ability to pick winners and losers.
My question for you is this: If the laws and regulations we have in place stand in the way of innovation, competitiveness and economic growth to the point where ministers have to provide exemptions, why are you not simply repealing them?
