The strategy has very clearly failed.
I appreciate the somewhat defensive presentation that you made. It's a good one because you're starting to deal with the issues that Canadians are talking about on main streets across the country. I appreciate it, and I actually enjoyed the presentation far more than I have enjoyed previous presentations from the ministry.
But the reality is that economically most Canadian families are earning less than they were in 1989. We have to rethink the whole thrust of how we can create good-quality jobs and how we will respond as a country to what has been, at the very least, economic stagnation for most families or economic degradation.
The answer that we can't have is more of the same or that we should go from NAFTA to NAFTA on steroids, which is what many are concerned about when we talk about the SPP. I appreciated the clarity of your presentation, but the fact is that there are a variety of agendas out there linked to the SPP, and each ministry is going through a different process of deregulation or reduced regulation.
My question is this. How do you pull it together? How do you track the legislation, the regulatory changes, and the deregulation that is taking place in so many areas, as you described, Mr. Crosbie? How does the ministry track it?
