I think the objective here is to ensure uniformity, and while you suggest that it may not be there, we could look at the possibility of ensuring that it's everywhere, that it's ubiquitous.
Your comments that it may not apply here, and it may be unintended, actually speak very much to the concerns I've had about the bill generally. As my good colleague Mr. Rota suggested earlier, this is a bill that in many respects looks a lot like a dragon slayer looking for a dragon.
I would suggest that none of us here would want to argue against uniformity, Mr. Cotton, yourself in particular, and while the industry may be accountable, I think it's important to be seen and perceived as fair to all industries and not to be seen as targeting one industry, which this legislation appears to be doing.
Notwithstanding the evidence that by your own information, Mr. Cotton, Measurement Canada demonstrates that retail gasoline in Canada is the second most compliant of the 30 industries listed here. Those would be the ones that exclude the sectors that are less than five data points.
I would suggest, colleagues, if you wish--and it's entirely up to you--that the word “uniformity” should remain consistent to all practices and industries affected under Measurement Canada's mandate.
