I wholeheartedly agree with you, Minister: there needs to be good federal-provincial cooperation. However, my question is more specific and addresses the substance of the bill. Would you be willing to support targets on such issues as urban land use? Would you accept federally-legislated targets for farmlands? That is the question. Wouldn't it be better to have a global strategy, with common objectives? Once the common objectives have been set, provinces can then agree on how to achieve them. That was the gist of my first question.
