Thank you, Mr. Chair. I just want to confirm, like my colleague regarding the previous amendment proposed by Mr. Julian, that no province has requested this; nobody has any fears. It's basically a fact that it's government policy to do this type of regulation by Governor in Council, not by a single minister, because of the importance of regulations authorized by the clause. The government is consulting with the provinces and territories on criteria for eventual regional exemptions. No legislation is required to provide this authority. We continue to be in consultation with the provinces and territories, and we have their support and continue to work with them to get this bill through.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
