Mr. Speaker, that is a very good question. I think that business owners have the answer to that. They are already dealing with a lot of laws, standards and red tape. Every time standards are added, whether for business owners, cities or others, the ideas are great but no one ever assesses what is really going to happen on the ground. I think that the first thing we need to do to ensure that we respect business owners' ability to meet expectations is to meet with them, listen to their opinions and work with them to find solutions to respect the law and the public's safety and also be safe.
