Thanks, Chair.
Mr. Dalrymple, I'm going to pick up with you again.
The Conservatives constantly accuse us of trying to blame the provinces. I'm not going to provide a civics lesson here; I'm just going to highlight what you've already said. Each level of government is constitutionally bound by the responsibilities that are set out. We're responsible for passing the laws. We do not administer the justice system in British Columbia, Alberta or any other province, so it's not a case of blame. We can pass these laws, and it goes back to what you and I talked about before, about overburdening a system that's under-resourced.
I do want to pick up on something that you just said. You said that the feds seem to have more resources. That frightens me, frankly. People like to blame the federal government on the one hand, but provinces get very upset when we try to enter into their jurisdiction. They're happy to take our money, though.
How does it become a federal responsibility, in your opinion, if the system is under-resourced at the provincial level?
