—and of course we ran out of time. An election occurred immediately after that. It was our intention to sign into that arrangement.
I think the difference, though, from what was being expected of provinces in terms of accountability with respect to the QUAD principles and the plan is the prescriptive nature of this piece of legislation compared to the annual plan we would have provided to the federal government as a consequence of receiving the money.
Our discomfort is more with the prescriptive nature, and perhaps the tool, that in many ways—a sledgehammer, I think is what we feel this is. When you have in legislation words like “examining” how the provinces have done—
The issues around the administration are so detailed and are perceived, at least in our minds, as being such a very onerous process, that it would be costly to deliver, as opposed to a reporting of how we're progressing on those QUAD principles. And we're always prepared to do that in partnership with the federal government.
