Yes. Thank you.
We heard recently from a small business owner who testified on Bill C-368. He said that if the legislation doesn't pass, Health Canada's new regulations on natural health products will cost his natural supplement business $500,000.
What are your thoughts on the cost? You used the expression “mom-and-pop”, and that certainly characterizes many of these businesses in my own riding. These are small businesses serving our communities. When I hear of a compliance cost at that level, it is a cause for concern, especially hearing you speak about the ability to move elsewhere and to conduct your business differently.
Can you speak a bit to the cost aspect?
