Okay. If you had those, they might be useful for the committee. If we're going to help Canadian competitiveness, it would be useful to have an analysis of how many regulations there are, obviously at the federal level, but also at the provincial and municipal levels.
I've been on and off this committee for 15 years. This is the third time the government has undertaken a broad sweeping initiative to undertake regulatory reform. I remember in 2004 we had the smart regulation initiative, and then in 2010-11 we had the Beyond the Border and regulatory reform initiatives with the establishment of the Regulatory Cooperation Council for a number of areas of regulatory reform. Now we have the latest cabinet directive on this.
If you look at the data, we continue to slip in the rankings when it comes to regulatory burden. According to the World Economic Forum, Canada now ranks 38th out of a list of countries in terms of regulatory burden for business investment. That's despite all these initiatives that we've been taking. Why is that? Why are we slipping? Is it a lack of political leadership? Is it some other reason? Why are we slipping despite all these initiatives to reduce the regulatory burden?
