Thank you, Mr. Chair.
By way of comment, I want to say that this issue has obviously been very difficult for many people to deal with. I think the government has put forward legislation that is somewhat reasonable at this point. I want to commend the members of the joint committee for the work they've done and commend this committee for the work that you are doing to get a better handle on the legislation.
I have only one question and it's for both ministers. You've mentioned that there have been ongoing discussions with the territories and the provinces with respect to Bill C-14.
Mr. Chair, through you, have any of the provinces or territories raised any concerns whatsoever about this bill and, if so, could the ministers please explain some of those concerns to the committee?
