I would just add, perhaps, that one of the issues you deal with when you're dealing with federal-provincial collaboration in this area is that not all of the consumer protection agencies across the country necessarily share the same legislative base, nor are they in the same departments and organizations. Some, for example, are in government services departments. Some of them are in departments of the attorney general. One of them is in the ministry of finance of the provincial government.
So when you're talking about doing collective action, you have to face the reality that you have members who are ministers when they meet, working together, who come from different organizational structures. They don't necessarily all have the same legislative base. While they certainly have all the same constitutional jurisdictions—provinces certainly have the same constitutional powers—the ministers that may be responsible for consumer affairs don't necessarily all have the same legislative mandates to deal with all of the same issues in the same way.
