These policies and the framework requires to execute them doesn't produce anything. It's punitive at best, as any 'Joe Sixpack' wanting to do their own thing will have yet another set of regulatory hoops to jump through. 

The government might increase its revenues as a percentage of provincial monies, but they're taking it from an ever shrinking pool. This will result in less choice for consumers, fewer options for labourers, and even more incentives to ship manufacturing off to countries that have no problems abusing the land, air, water, and people.

Don't believe the lies.  Ultra-liberalism is killing Canada.
