Indeed, I am very pleased that the province of Quebec is part of Canada. This is something very close to my heart, and I'm glad we're on the same page in this regard; perhaps we are not.
As for the strategy, I will defer to the experts. However, as I understand it, the bill contains an explicit requirement for the department to consult representatives of provincial governments and first nations communities before finalizing the strategy. Since the duty to consult is already provided for in the bill, the amendment is not necessary.
