It is important for New Brunswick that federal legislation match provincial legislation and vice versa. I suppose that the same applies to the other provinces but I do not want to speak on their behalf.
One of the obstacles which we encounter when the time comes to legislate is our obligation to get the federal government's consent. I imagine that the federal government must agree with the provincial legislation.
Today's conference should help us reach this goal or at least to come closer to it. We must absolutely continue our discussions to make sure that we are doing exactly the same things.
The provincial and federal objectives are the same, the way of attaining them often raises problems. The conflicts arise from what was left unsaid, and not from what was said.
New Brunswick is really ready to discuss matters with the federal government to help it to implement the best possible legislation for the environment.
