Sure.

When you look at the bill, we see that one single purpose is attached to the bill, and it's set out in clause 3, which in our view is quite clear: the purpose of this act is simply to establish criteria and conditions that must be met before any payment is made to a province to support its programs. That's the only purpose we see in the act.
