I'll take a first shot at it.
I agree with your statement, Mr. Hiebert. Some might say it just affects the federally regulated company. That is not the case. These companies are federally regulated for a reason. Although Madame Lavallée talks about the Société des alcools du Québec , we're not talking about the Société des alcools du Québec ; we are talking about companies that provide the kind of framework services Canadians depend on.
The outside world looks at us and says, “That is a country that has its act together.” So it's not only societal disruption; it is also an important piece of framework legislation that you just can't change from one day to the next, because the eyes of the world are on it.
I am extremely concerned about the kind of societal disruption, the kind of trade disruption, the ripple effect it has for all of the suppliers who provide services to federally regulated companies. And as I said, it sends a bad signal not only to Canadians but to the rest of the world.
Are we going to reconvene Parliament every time there is one of these problems? That will be the end result, and that, with all respect to the members of Parliament in this room, is an extremely inefficient answer to how we deal with these situations.
