First of all, the government should not hide behind a process of regulatory reform. Basically this should be a process in which full, open, democratic debate and discussion should occur, and it should happen in Parliament. Parliamentarians should take back their place in this process. I do not think it should be left to secret meetings or private consultations with the most powerful interests in the country. The representatives of every single community across this country should have the opportunity, and they do bear the responsibility for bringing this discussion even more into the open.
It is wonderful that we are here today at this committee. This process should be expanded and increased so that there is a full democratic debate in this country about what seems to be so innocuous as regulatory reform, but which in fact, as we have found out through our studies and through hearing from our members and our affiliates, is certainly not an innocuous process.
