Deregulation and Continental Regulatory Harmonization

From: Living with Uncle

$2.20

beyond the narrow self-interest of companies, there is not a solid economic case to be made for deregulation. Instead, there is good reason to believe that this is a policy initiative that exclusively benefits corporate Canada, largely hidden from public view by deceptive language, and ultimately paid in greater risks borne by average Canadians. And because of the international context of harmonization, it has profound implications in terms of whether governments in the future will be able to enact and enforce regulations in the public interest.
