I'm sorry, but some of the legal words I don't know in French. I try.
The order in council that would be necessary to make data exchange mandatory between the federal government and the provinces is not a controversial thing. It is something that Parliament put into the law in, I believe, 2004 or 2005. Simply put, it should be used. We should not let our preconceptions about the appropriateness of what the province may do, or what the federal government may do, stand in the way of the clear reading of the law. You, as parliamentarians, created that law on sharing, and I'm grateful to you for doing so. It's a very useful tool, but it does need to be used.
I think Dr. Fisman would probably be able to add something to this.
