Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to our witnesses for coming and sharing what you can—although I'm getting the distinct impression that there are many things you cannot. I hope you all appreciate in the back of your minds that the role of parliamentarians is to hold the government to account. That's something we will certainly do the next time we have the minister here.
With respect to the bill that's before us, first of all, did the Minister of Justice provide either department with a view on the constitutionality of the imposition of federally imposed financial legislation in what are really areas under provincial jurisdiction? Provinces have largely used the energy lever, so to speak. My question would be, is there anything that says that this particular bill is constitutional and will survive any challenge in any court process?
