I think there is a risk that if we impose obligations on provinces, or try to, they will not see it in the spirit of partnership, which is how we've approached this. The minister has talked a lot about working closely with provincial officials. We've tried to do everything in a sense of partnership rather than put an obligation on the other party. There is a concern, or at least a risk, that the provinces would see this as a break from that and as us trying to impose something on them.
