Thank you.
Ms. May, thank you very much for coming before us today and for bringing forward this very important bill. It has been our pleasure to work with you. You have been nothing but accommodating and kind, and really focused on making sure we act in the best interest of Canadians across the country.
I know we've shared with you some amendments that we'd like to bring forward just to make sure that the bill and the legislation would be workable. If you would be so kind....
I know you referenced a number of them in your opening statements, but just to confirm for the record, we would refer to this as a federal framework to better respect and engage the provinces.
You also note that we would have the conference take place within six months. I would ask for some flexibility there, as we don't know the legislative calender, and perhaps make that six to twelve months. We are keen to bring this forward and to act on this; we just require some flexibility to make sure we can actually hold to our word here.
Are you comfortable with those two, for instance?
