Mr. Speaker, in defence of my colleague from Vegreville, I feel there is a need to repeat something. I do not think the government hears us the first time. It is very important that we make our point.
I would like to ask the hon. member a question. I agree and can support the idea of less regulation when it comes to court cases or the idea of compliance. What bothers me about Bill C-61-the member mentioned it as well-is that it will give the minister far more latitude in some of the powers he has in these regulations.
What protection is built into this bill that would protect consumers and the industry from the wide-ranging powers of this minister or any other minister that may sit in the House from time to time?
