I want to start by making a comment on something Mr. Martin said. He talked about people being reasonable. I just want to point out that generally people on both sides of the issue are reasonable. I think that's fair to say, but we still need rules. And quoting from the Sims report, it said:
A labour code must be careful to maintain the natural balance of power. Any legislative scheme which tips that balance leads to uncertainty, instability and discontent.
I just want to remind everybody of that.
One of the things that I hear over and over again is this concept of fearmongering. I think we need to differentiate between fear and a legitimate concern for Canadians. I think what I'm hearing articulated, both in this meeting and previous ones, is a legitimate concern. And let's make sure we're not getting overly political in our comments on it. There is a legitimate concern for Canadians and for the economy here.
This question is for Mr. Kelly-Gagnon. I listened to Mr. Lessard and Ms. Lavallée, at different points, in different meetings, and it seems that they don't understand the differences between federal and provincial jurisdiction. Could you explain the differences in industries regulated by the two jurisdictions and why shutting down federal industries would shut down, or could shut down, Main Street, Canada?
