Mr. Brown, the effect of that would be to have the provinces override the federal government's decisions on specific issues that are of federal jurisdiction alone. The federal government never attempts, and has never attempted, to override provincial jurisdiction, but instead negotiates with provinces in certain areas, and that's why the social union was created, as a way to deal with that.
In other words, what this would suggest is that instead of having a federal government and a House of Commons, we should just have the provinces with provincial parliaments, which would therefore rule the country together. That would be the effect; I'm not saying that's what you are suggesting, but that's what the effect would be, really, because the Senate has the ability to override or deny House of Commons bills. So I would see this creating that very negative effect on the federal government and federal jurisdiction.
