Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Going back to my previous statement about the doctrine of paramountcy, the amendments that are currently proposed would have the federal legislation prevail over the provincial legislation. So I would think that when you have an anglophone in Montreal who is not able to comply with the Quebec legislation, he or she would still be able to comply with the federal legislation.
However, the amendment being proposed by the Bloc would be such that the federal government would willingly cede its jurisdiction, if I can put it that way, because you would have it saying quite specifically that subsection (1) does not apply in Quebec. In that sense, the doctrine of paramountcy is no longer an issue, because the federal government is saying that in their own legislation they are recognizing that in Quebec, the Quebec government would determine the regulation of immigration consultants with regard to an act respecting immigration in Quebec, and by the fact that in Quebec, subsection (1) would not apply to a member of the bar--would not be a chambre des notaires.
