-----it is important to have regulation, but the message I want to get across is that we should not over-regulate. Let us not get carried away by the nanny state brigade around this House. I met a doctor last week who gave me plenty of advice on different medical issues. He said much of the information coming from the so-called medical profession was inaccurate. I will go down that road another day when we are dealing with a health issue. For now I will stick to the legislation before us.
