It's an excellent question, and thank you.
I think the way to deal with that is to establish two or three fundamental criteria that the committee would feel, going into this, are the overriding principles that really matter. One could be in relation to the citizen's ability to be included in decision-making wherever these are transcending issues, wherever the citizen herself or himself is going to have to live with the consequences of how they're decided. You always keep the citizen at the centre of this process as you're making the rules, the same as you would if you want a patient-centred health care system or a student-centred education system or a citizen-centred government system. Keeping the citizen at the centre, I think, is a good starting point.
A second would be to have respect for the requirements of the charter when going through this. Some provinces have already gone further down this road—the Province of Quebec—in finding the golden mean to balance upon, but the main thing in harmonization that you would be looking for is not whether it dovetails with every other statute that's out there in the provinces, but rather whether it conforms with the fundamental Constitution.
