At the risk of getting into a long debate, I think the exclusion of it makes it simpler. But as a federalist, I would say “in the interest of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and all other provinces” and Canadian interests. Otherwise I don't see the point of Quebec and Canadian.
As I say, I'm taking Mr. Kotto as being an honourable gentleman, and I'm sure he didn't intend this as being a problem.
