The proposed additional language—i.e. “through the provinces, those of local authorities”—does not intend to include necessarily going through the provinces and territories to work with other entities, because the amendment makes it clear, then, that the other entities are no longer government entities at any level. I believe the proposed amendment clarifies and respects existing jurisdictional arrangements and provides a further level of detail that is being considered.
