That's why I characterize it as ideological. I'm not trying to be negative about the sense of it, but it seems to be driven by a political position versus that of real results and success.
Is there any measurement in terms of elimination of regulation and the potential harm or impact to businesses and public safety? One thing that isn't discussed is the flip side to this. Some of the regulatory practices are in place because some people didn't want to follow best practices or proper practices and required basically behaviour modification in the industry either to ensure their products were safety-related or to ensure that the competition they were doing was fair. This committee was part of that work to put pressure on the government almost a decade ago to end the corporate deductibility of fines and penalties. Some people abused regulations and used fines and penalties as expenses as part of their business model and would claim that back at tax time.
Is there anything done to measure when a regulatory regime is changed and what the potential impact is not only for consumers for health and safety standards, but also for other businesses?
