Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
All things considered, the bill, in its present form, will allow Quebec to withdraw, which it will most probably do, and to not have to report to the federal government on the use it makes of the funding allocated, given that this is an area that falls under its jurisdiction.
You however inferred that there was a possibility that Parliament might one day change the criteria or whatever. Could you tell us if it is indeed possible to establish rules after the fact? This would amount to interference with Quebec's powers in order to force it to change its way of doing things. In what circumstances would that be possible?
