A lot of things seem to be fairly obvious until I start talking to people on an individual basis. Then they put forward a position that has a certain amount of coherence and would appear to be unassailable, from their perspective, and then along came Bill C-58.
I asked the minister last week, because he used some rather specific language.... When a minister says it's time for us to reintroduce balance into the system, and understanding a little bit of where the government would be coming from—and I don't mean to be partisan here, from my colleagues opposite, but this government is seen to be generally, philosophically speaking, much more favourable to a deregulated system than not—for a minister of a government from that persuasion to say that the balance has to be brought back toward more regulation, would suggest, even to the most cynical person, that maybe some of the issues are a little bit more egregious than people would normally give them credit for being.
