That's okay. I did, and he suggested substantial downward pressure.
I want to move to the Treasury Board. I struggle with this idea of a one-for-one rule sometimes. I want to cut red tape that is ineffective and ineffectual, and I want to keep regulations that matter to public policy. I don't think it's always a one-for-one rule.
Shouldn't the focus be on regulations that make no sense at all and just get in the way? I'll give an example. A licensed cannabis producer today has to seek out a separate excise tax stamp in every single province they operate in. Alcohol is not subject to the same requirements. That is a frivolous regulation that gets in the way, imposes costs and has no public interest value. Why aren't we focused on those issues?
