The second thing is that I think it's absolutely appropriate that the federal government moves cautiously in areas that could have some shared jurisdiction. I don't disagree with checking out the provinces' attitudes and ideas about this kind of legislation.
There are murky areas in anything that deals with discrimination. I think, however, as Senator Cowan said, that we are not hearing that it's a problem. It was quite interesting for me to see the Bloc Québécois members of the House support this bill at second reading. They have finely tuned consciences on whether jurisdiction is federal or provincial. They voted for this bill, and the same evening they voted against another private member's bill because it trod on provincial jurisdiction.
I think that if you do talk to the provinces, you'll find that they're quite pleased with this piece of legislation. This actually is a robust piece of legislation that has robust powers to the point that I think it's deterrence potential is huge. I actually hope that this legislation will mean a lack of court cases and a lack of discrimination because then it will cause people to back off.
