Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
On that point, during the consultations I had with our provincial and territorial counterparts when I was minister of justice, at the time in 2005 the attorney general of Manitoba recommended that the surcharge be increased, as he put it, from 15% to 20%. The increase here is to 30%. Has the position of the attorney general of Manitoba changed? What was the response as a whole of the provincial and territorial counterparts? Did they make the recommendation that it be raised, or did it come from a federal initiative with which they concurred?
