Effectively, we should undertake the work in this country to examine existing regulations or new regulations. We could also be aided by all sorts of small and medium-sized enterprises, which see these barriers to competition all the time. They are aware of them, but they can't get the regulations to change and they can't get the bylaws or the provincial laws to change. They're out there and they can be identified. We can undertake the hard work, as a country, to fix them in order to allow more people to compete in the marketplace and to bring their ingenuity and their great Canadian education to offer new products and services.
It can be done. Australia did it. Australia reviewed 1,800 laws and regulations in the nineties as part of its push on productivity. As a result of that work, the conservative estimate, in the after-the-fact examination of it, is that it raised the average income per Australian household in the nineties by $5,000 Australian. That work enhanced competition in the Australian economy by removing regulatory barriers to competition.
I should say that Australia is very much engaged in doing that again, because it realizes how important it is for its productivity as a nation to drive GDP growth and to give people more money in their pockets through a more vibrant, competitive economy.
