There has been a ministerial declaration, and that's a generous act on behalf of the minister, but that's a declaration from a government. What this does is set up a legal framework where Parliament, where you, as a member of Parliament, are speaking on behalf of Canadians; all of you parliamentarians are speaking on behalf of Canadians. Putting it into a legal framework...whatever government comes into power has to respect this day; 192 countries already do.
Remember, this only began in the United Nations in 2008. What it does here is empower every MP from every party to stand up and be counted. So it's about Parliament, which I think is extremely important.
To briefly answer your question, and I talked about this in the other questions, we can provide statistics for you to show you how different it is in different provinces. For example, in Nova Scotia it's wonderful what's going on. They have nine areas now in the province where you can go and get intensive behaviour treatment. Before, you went to Halifax. As I mentioned, in Alberta and other provinces the programs last longer. But at the end of the day, it's about us as Canadians, as parliamentarians. That sets a legal framework to recognize this in a legal bill.
