There is so much that is being left to regulation and total power within the minister's discretion of how the regulations are passed. Would he like to comment on how this compares to some of the other legislation we have seen through this House that is poorly prepared, ill-thought-out, incomplete, and left up to the public or others to worry about afterwards? There seems to be consistency here.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5076645\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je voudrais remercier le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de Yellowhead pour son discours sur ce projet de loi et pour sa connaissance du secteur du transport au pays.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5076646\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les interventions des d\u00e9put\u00e9s nous ont permis de constater que ce projet de loi n'\u00e9tait pas complet. Beaucoup trop de pr\u00e9cisions devront \u00eatre apport\u00e9es dans la r\u00e9glementation. Le ministre aura toute la latitude n\u00e9cessaire pour modeler cette r\u00e9glementation \u00e0 sa guise. Pourrait-il nous dire s'il y voit une similitude avec les autres projets de loi \u00e9tudi\u00e9s par la Chambre qui avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 mal pr\u00e9par\u00e9s, sans r\u00e9flexion suffisante, qui \u00e9taient incomplets et qui ont sem\u00e9 l'inqui\u00e9tude apr\u00e8s coup dans le public en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral et parmi certaines personnes. On dirait qu'il s'en d\u00e9gage une certaine tendance.</p>"
