It has been five years since the exclusion clause was first introduced, and provinces and territories have had quite a bit of time. If we recall, Bill C-14 was passed and a MAID system grew up overnight. In Quebec, we had 18 months to prepare, but that was 18 months for an entire MAID system. It's been five years now, and I think provinces and territories are competent. In fact, it is their responsibility and their jurisdiction to create a MAID system that is suitable for their local needs.
In my experience in talking with my colleagues across the country, they all have slightly different systems, but those systems are designed with the intent of serving the people of that jurisdiction in the best way that those authorities have deemed suitable.
