I talked about simplicity. One other aspect of simplicity is simplicity across this country.
I started my career years ago in the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, in intergovernmental affairs. I've worked in many different intergovernmental sectors with governments across this country for many years. I can say that it's a dream in every sector to have our laws aligned so that when we have organizations working across jurisdictions, they don't suffer challenges with having to comply with the varying regimes. Everybody dreams of this, but, of course, we also live in a federation and want to respect the wishes of the people of each of our jurisdictions. That's part of our Constitution.
I'm here to talk about British Columbia. I wouldn't presume to tell the federal Parliament exactly what policy choices to make, but I would encourage simplicity through harmonization. There's a real opportunity here.
