You know, it's interesting when you think about Canada, this great country of ours, and you think about the nation building, we go back to putting the railroad in.

And of course, that's the thing that really got us going most.

We could never do that now because of all the regulations, of course, that we've got province to province and on a federal basis, etc.

The red tape is overwhelming most businesses.

Most small businesses can't even keep up with it.

Absolutely.

Yeah, no, I agree with all of that.

In fact, it's interesting.

When I speak to the small business community, I honestly get more complaints now about the regulation than about the regulatory environment than I do about the taxation environment for the first time in my life.

And it should be easy to solve, no?

Absolutely.

And the thing is, much like we talked about rent control, most regulations are very well intended and a lot are well thought through.

But cumulatively now, they have overwhelmed our economy and overwhelmed the business community.

Very much.

Okay.

Let's go on to immigration.

What are your thoughts on the current immigration situation?

What are your thoughts on what happened a few years ago?

Did we go too fast and bring in too many people too quickly?

No, that is interesting.
