Fifteen years tops. It has taken that long for the government to wake up to the fact that there is something out there it has not yet regulated “We have failed in our duties as a government. Let us get out there and grab them by the neck”.
I return to the specific amendments being proposed. They certainly will ease the pain. Why anybody should be subjected to a form of negative billing by their very own government truly escapes me.
When the cable companies during the last parliament were negative billing on their cable services, there were members on the other side who went berserk. Now the government is proposing negative billing and apparently it is quite all right. Mother government has determined that this is the way to go.
Again my compliments to the member for Brandon—Souris. I wholeheartedly support his amendments. I wish the amendments went further in the sense that I do not think that too many of these people growing specialty crops if it comes right down to it even want the bill, but if we are going to have it, surely it could be improved.
