The owner of a local meat processer says unnecessary safety regulations are putting him out of business.

Paul Bogdala owns Simpson Meat and Deli and said he's had enough. 

He has sent a letter to the prime minister seeking an explanation for new regulations that have him spending upwards of $30,000 just to keep his doors open, and believes he may not be able to keep up with the costly upgrades that are now required of him.

“They are after the small businesses,” Bogdala told CKPR Radio, adding that he believes he is being pushed out by bigger meat processing companies.

“Believe me, every small meat processor, every small slaughterhouse, they are all complaining (about these regulations).”
