The system is being operationalized by provinces and territories with the support of the federal government.
One of the things that I think people tend to point to in the bilateral agreements is the requirement for bilateral implementation committees. These are committees that exist at the working level between public servants in the federal government within our secretariat and the provinces and territories. They are mandated to meet at least twice a year to monitor ongoing progress of implementation of the agreements.
Importantly, implementation committees also include regional and national stakeholders to ensure that those views, the actual experience of what implementation feels like on the ground, are reflected at those committees.
What I will say, though, is that although we do spend a lot of time thinking about and tracking the work of implementation committees, it is really the relationships that this team builds with provincial and territorial colleagues in working with them on a day-to-day basis that are at the core of ongoing positive implementation. Those relationships are built from engaging over the little challenges that are faced day to day in planning for investments and in doing some of that course correction that I mentioned earlier. For example, a province like Saskatchewan may think that it's going to reach $10 a day much later in the agreement and then actually be in a position to announce $10 a day yesterday.
That's how we monitor and manage implementation. It's by maintaining those relationships, along with some formality along the way that you see reflected in the agreements themselves.
