Allow me to answer very briefly.

I'm getting tired of the constant comparison between the BC system or the Quebec system to the federal system, because we are not seeking to regulate the same things. Economic activities are regulated by the federal government. This is what we have been trying to explain to you since this morning. Essential economic activities are somewhat like the channels that link the Canadian economy with the rest of the world.
