You make a very important point.
Really what's happened is these regulations have been developed all on their own under different pieces of legislation that all came into force at different times. That's where we have all the different dates.
The question was asked earlier about how many regulations we have. While we don't have the federal, provincial and territorial numbers, we know that we have 400 acts with 2,600 regulations in them.
One of the things you may have heard about when you were talking to the Treasury Board Secretariat is that the new cabinet directive has a number of elements. One of them will require departments to regularly review the stock of their regulations. We believe this is very, very important for precisely these reasons. This has to be done with the Treasury Board Secretariat coordinating it, because if a department reviews its own stock and doesn't see a link to another department's regulation, or there's an industry that maybe has a lot of different requirements from different departments, that wouldn't be good. The whole idea is to get much more holistic about how we look at these things.
With regard to your question around pre-filled fields and sharing of information, again, some of the legislation we have in place doesn't allow for the sharing of information between departments. This is the idea that when we talk about a centre for innovation within government, we hope to be able to understand how we can make it much more business-centric and client-centric.
As I mentioned about the dates, because they've all come into force under different pieces of legislation, the cleaning up of the legislation under the annual regulatory modernization bill will hopefully start to tackle some of those anomalies.
