Mr. Speaker, if I heard the member correctly, she seems to be of the opinion that there is no room for deregulation, meaning looking at regulations that might be somewhat dated and useless and getting rid of them.
I would disagree with the member. I believe that there are many regulations that need to be gotten rid of. I suspect that if the member canvassed some of her caucus colleagues, she would find that even some of her own caucus colleagues would agree with that statement. Having said that, I emphasized in my comments just how important regulations are in our society. What I emphasized was health care. I emphasized safety. I even talked about the environment. These are all important. That is one of the reasons we have regulations.
I can assure the member and viewers that regulations are a priority for the Liberal Party. We are concerned, and we are going to make sure that there are strong practical regulations to ensure that there is safety in health care and for issues dealing with the environment.
Regulations are necessary. Where we disagree is that some regulations on the books today are somewhat redundant, and we believe it is best to get rid of them to try to make our system more efficient.
