The position the working group has always adopted on laws, which the members have of course discussed, is that they are part of the toolbox. A piece of legislation is part of the toolbox. If a group is not doing what it should be doing, using the legislation can become an option. However, as we represent six provinces and one territory, each with its cultural distinctions, we are focused on the principled approach. Each administration has the power to decide what is best in relation to its culture and its context. That is why the framework we have developed is based on fundamental principles. Be it a piece of legislation, a framework for action or a provincial strategy, we want to ensure that those fundamental principles are reproduced.
