It would be interesting, Chair, over the years to get the Auditor General's take on the money that was raised, how it was raised, what was done with it, and then how effective those systems have been.
The other thing I just wanted to ask, if I've got time, and I know I'm running out quickly, was on the Nova Scotia bill, the part for the changes to address Nova Scotia issues. It was passed in 2001.
Has Parliament introduced any changes prior to this? The time lag is what I'm looking at. It's over half a decade between when a province made a move and then there needs to be a reciprocal move on the federal side, but we're just doing it now. Was it introduced earlier and didn't get through, or does it normally take this long between provincial action and then reciprocal federal action?
