Thank you.
The bill states that we will hold negotiations and discussions with the provinces and territories. We all agree that education falls under the jurisdiction of the provinces and territories, but that does not mean that because of that, we cannot work on this issue, in partnership with Quebec or with the other provinces.
As I said in my remarks, it does not call for equal funding to the provinces or territories. Discussions will certainly be held with the Government of Quebec to see what it wants to do, as was the case for the child care program.
Once again, we should be looking further ahead. We have to keep in mind that this is a program to help students. If Quebec already has a program in place that is sufficient and cannot be improved, who knows? Maybe the federal government will use the example of Quebec to improve the national framework or the program itself in Canada. We want to work with the Government of Quebec. If there are adjustments to be made, we will make them, as we have done with other universal programs we have created in Canada.
