You simplified the promise. I get it.
I guess we could have had sort of a caveat at the beginning of the platform that Canada is a federation. There are sovereign governments with jurisdiction in different parts of the country. We can control what we can control.
All teasing aside, Mr. Lawrence, in the federation there is a great deal of common interest. Some provinces have been ahead of the Government of Canada for a number of years. Years ago, the premier of Alberta, former premier Kenney, passed legislation on mutual recognition in terms of labour requirements for different professions way ahead of any other province.
There's been a lot of common interest. It's come into focus with the election campaign, sure, but also because of the challenges with respect to the United States.
