Thank you very much for coming here to discuss a subject that clearly is as important to you as it is to me.
I'm from Quebec and we have often had discussions with officials from the Maritime provinces. I recall a time back in 1998 when I met with the attorneys general from the Maritime provinces to outline Quebec's approach in this area.
Would I be wrong to say that since 1985, you have looked to Quebec's system a great deal for inspiration for your own approach?
