Absolutely. That is a very good example of red tape. I do not believe in deregulation. We need to be careful about the space being used for deregulation. We only have to look at the billions we are paying for defective concrete blocks because there was no regulation of the quarries, but Mr. McDonnell has given a perfect example of what needs to be done to get rid of the unnecessary administrative burden on small businesses. I thank him very much for that.
