Obviously the devil is in the details. In 2005 the provinces and territories spent a considerable amount of time negotiating with the federal government to achieve a clear understanding of what each of the QUAD principles meant. We haven't done that on this bill, so we're not sure what the meanings are. Until we have some clear understanding, or there has been some agreement between the parties as to what those principles actually mean in day-to-day practice, it engenders a lot of fear for us.
