In fairness, Mr. Chairman, the bill, as I read it--and I don't pretend to have mastered all its clauses--is not specific in how it would engage the provinces if indeed the assumption is that subclause 8(3) implies that the provinces would be engaged at that stage only. Then, as I read it, it would suggest that they would be subject to that period of comment, which would not be less than 120 days.
