Thank you, Madam Chair.
We and our colleagues in other national and pan-Canadian organizations regularly interact with our colleagues in provincial agencies and departments. We learn and share much with each other.
But I would echo Kaaren's comments that leadership is really of the essence here. The problems are too important to be relegated to a narrow bureaucratic framework that is concerned about stepping on interprovincial barriers. I think our citizens, whatever province they come from, are looking for national pan-Canadian and federal leadership in this area.
