Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you, MP Sgro.
I've been dealing with a detached retina since last fall, which I'm still having trouble dealing with, and I'm looking forward to the end of session so that I can see my surgeon in July. In going through all of that process, both in Halifax and here, I can say the care has been very good.
Excuse me if I go over some ground that you may have already covered, but I'm trying to understand the dividing line here between federal and provincial roles and the professional association in this.
The bill is obviously well intentioned. It's just that I'm a little concerned that it's a bit of an intrusion into what provinces do. In response to MP Kitchen's comment on (2)(b), (c) and (d), they're fine with me, but I'm struggling with the term “identify the training”, which sounds to me like there are some national training standards which the government is being empowered to instate, which I don't think is our role, and it doesn't sound like that's your intent.
