We have done some work, after all. Can you tell me exactly where, in the current bill, you see anything that addresses duplication of work and the consideration of the territorial flood protection plan? If there are other provinces, I have no problem adding a reference to Quebec or any other province. I know that Quebec has a flood protection plan, but I don't know if that's the case for all the other provinces. Personally, I haven't seen that anywhere in the bill. There's a reason we worked with our legal experts to include this clarification. It complements what already exists by providing clarity and ensuring that concerns about the duplication of efforts or overlaps are taken into account, in the interest of efficiency within the federal government.
As we know, we are here and we are part of Canada, since we do not have our own country. This is a reality to which we want to contribute, while ensuring that there is no duplication. People don't want us to duplicate efforts and spend money twice for no reason. I think that's an important clarification. There is a plan; it is there, and it must be taken into account.
