Madam Chair, I am going to continue.
In Quebec, our understanding has always been this. First, education is a provincial responsibility. Most provinces have their own loans and grants programs—at least this is the case in Quebec—and reciprocity or equivalencies are already established. The regulations do not say that the federal program takes precedence because this is a provincial domain.
So we cannot give an amendment a meaning that would take away provincial powers. With all due respect, Mr. Leduc, I think that the way in which you are drafting things changes the tone of the regulations.
