Thank you, Mr. Chair.
In response to my questions, Ms. Duncan took the time to specify that her bill's area of jurisdiction is strictly federal. After analyzing the bill, do you feel that it is interfering in provincial areas of jurisdiction?
Section 23, which sets out civil action recourse, states the following:

Does this not imply a conflict with provincial areas of jurisdiction? I believe that civil issues usually fall under provincial jurisdiction.
