I do want to speak to the title. Obviously it's important for a title to describe what a bill actually does, so that is why I moved my amendment. I thought it would be accurate to—As you know, I would have worded the amendment to read: “A mechanism to withhold transfers to the provinces if they do not do what the federal government tells them (except for Quebec) act.” And I think that pretty much describes what this bill does.
I know there are people on the other side who have visions of a $20 billion institutional nine-to-five day care program that would come out of this, but this bill doesn't actually do that. All it does is provide a mechanism to withhold funding from the provinces and now, with amendments, to also withhold funding from aboriginal groups. That was the idea behind changing the title. I think it's important to be very clear to Canadians what we're legislating for here.
