One of the things that concern me is that there have been some amendments suggested here. Again, it boils down to the problem of the regulations with respect to level 2 pathogens. According to this, for a first offence—a first offence—there's a $50,000 fine with respect to level 2 pathogens. That's for a first offence.
We've never had a bill like this in Canada before. We will have a bill in Canada saying that for a first offence of not dealing with level 2 pathogens, according to the regulation, it will be a $50,000 fine. It's written here in your amendments for clause 53.
I can tell you this will have an incredible impact on the Canadian scientific community. It will not put us on a level playing field; it will put us at the bottom. We will not be able to compete with other countries in terms of scientific research, and it will not provide any additional security to Canadians.
So, to me, it is a real problem just to leave the bill as is without the regulations. The regulations have to be in the bill, so these kinds of mistakes are removed and we don't have to deal with them in the future.
