Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen.
I've read through your brief quickly and on listening to you speak, aside from the general demands of the manufacturing sector, our sense is that you're experiencing a particular problem because of regulatory structure that has not kept pace with growth in your sector.
I read somewhere that you are governed by 442 separate pieces of legislation. How many federal and provincial departments are you required to deal with, if you look at the research, development, product manufacturing and marketing side of your operations?
