Suppose we were to call for an amendment to the act to force the federal government to comply with stricter regulations in force in one province or another. Do you think this equivalency principle could work in both directions?
Mr. Drouin just said that Quebec adopted a clean air act in the late 1970s. The act's regulations are currently under review. So they are reviewing existing regulations. Do you think that Canada could draw some inspiration from that? It is not simply a case of saying: “Canada knows best.”
A clean air act is being reviewed some 30 years after its initial adoption. Do you think the principle of equivalency should work both ways?
