Chair, what's been stated pretty clearly is that the concept this amendment would bring in has not been signed off on, if you will, by the provinces. It would incur an obligation on the provinces, an extra cost, and that's why the government at this time is not supporting the amendment. The provinces have not been thoroughly consulted, and they certainly haven't given their sign-off on it. So we don't want to impose a cost burden on them beyond what's been discussed.
