Thank you.
Madam Chair, I'm going to go to Mr. Priddle for a quick question.
Going back to some of my notes on our competitiveness study, I have that “Canada's Red Tape Report” indicated that the amount of time spent on regulation by business owners has decreased since 2017. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business said that could be attributable to businesses, small and medium-sized enterprises, being downloaded costs for certain activities, such as consultants and that kind of work.
Mr. Priddle, my understanding in listening to your presentation is that's the type of situation you're facing. Those additional costs and burdens are now being downloaded and you're being asked to seek help from consultants.
