I'd like to add one more point before speaking to the Alberta one.
I think the key point to understand about equivalency agreements is that the act doesn't oblige the federal minister to go out and ask provinces to look for equivalency opportunities. The act enables the minister to negotiate agreements.
The fact of the matter is that very few provinces have come forward and asked for equivalency agreements. The reason for that is that there are in fact very few areas where provincial laws overlap with federal laws. You need an equivalency agreement only where you have a provincial law addressing the same issue as the federal law. If you don't, you have no need for an equivalency agreement.
We have a complex federal-provincial regime of environmental laws in Canada, but there are in fact very few areas where there is direct overlap. Where there is, such as in a case we have in Alberta--and we do have some cases in other jurisdictions, but in Alberta we have direct overlap--the federal law does not apply with respect to the regulation that is the subject of the equivalency agreement, and that has worked out satisfactorily.
Administrative agreements are very different. An administrative agreement is a situation not where the province has a regulation in place, but where the province has expressed an interest in implementing a federal law because they already have folks on the ground who understand the industries or the institutions that are the subject of the regulation and it's more efficient for the inspector who's already going to be in the facility to go in and inspect both for compliance with the provincial law and for compliance with the federal law.
