Thank you.
With what my colleague Senator Dalphond just said, “to err on the safe side,” I'm going back to what you and Mr. Thériault were discussing in your exchange and the fact that March 23 is less than a year away. There are a lot of questions. In fact, Ms. Abby Hoffman, when she appeared before our committee, said there haven't been consultations with first nations, Métis and aboriginal peoples.
If the provinces are not ready, will it fall upon individual practitioners to make decisions? I'm really quite concerned about the readiness of our country, province by province and territory by territory.
Would you comment on anything to reassure me, others listening and members of this committee? It is less than a year away and we seem to not have the consistency and the standards across our country.
