Your time is up. Thank you.
Mr. Chambers, I am going to continue along the same lines as Ms. Folco's questioning about national policy.
We have noticed that during and after crises such as listeriosis or bird flu, which unfortunately happened here, government authorities blame each other. The federal side says that the provincial government should have done something or other, and did not. Conversely, the provincial side may put the blame on the federal government. I think I follow your idea about coordination, but as regards national policy generally, we always have to be very careful about respecting areas of provincial jurisdiction—here I am expressing my own view, which perhaps you share. It is wrong to think that the federal government always has the one and only right solution. I will give you an example of what I mean, and ask for your comments.
Because of its agri-traceability system, Quebec has been ahead of other jurisdictions for a number of years. I do not mean by that that we are better at everything. Other provincial governments may also be ahead in other areas. When we talk about national policy, I always hear, and this is shared by quite a few people in Quebec, that at some point, there may be a tendency to set standards based on the lowest common denominator. A province, in this case Quebec, that has developed a much more demanding approach, will not want to move backwards.
