I will note that previous private members' bills that were tabled predate the Canada-wide system—a system that relies in particular on bilateral agreements with provinces and territories for the transfer of funds. What we saw in a number of previous private members' bills were different approaches to use legislation to create conditionality for provinces and territories. These were not bills that were solely federally focused, which is what we're looking at today.
In the case of Quebec, legislation that had a provincial or territorial focus may have required that kind of exemption clause. However, as I explained, we have the opportunity to use bilateral agreements. In the case of Quebec in particular, we have asymmetrical agreements to ensure that Quebec—in recognition of the investments made and the success of its system—is not held to the same reporting requirements as other provinces and territories. There is nothing in particular to exempt Quebec from in this legislation, since there is nothing in the legislation that imposes requirements on Quebec.
