I want to thank Mr. Davies for the suggested amendment.
I guess for me this bill is about the legislation giving the minister certain authorities to exempt people. It's not about giving the provinces and territories the rights. There's an important balance here that I'm not sure has been found in the proposed amendment.
I guess my question really goes to the staff here. The minister talks to her counterparts all the time. They can always pick up the phone and talk. Does this proposed amendment give the minister any greater power to make these things happen? Do you think it expedites her decision-making capabilities?
