Just for the record, I'd like to indicate that I will not be supporting this motion. By way of brief explanation, my understanding is that the purpose of clause 7 is to ensure that the provincial minister is consulted with respect to and must approve any regulations that are made under the accord acts.
The removal proposed under CPC-1 would allow the federal government to unilaterally make these prohibition regulations, and that's very contrary to the spirit of the legislation. The clause has been negotiated with and agreed to by the provinces. My understanding is that the provinces would not support this, and therefore we will not be supporting it.
I'll leave my comments at that.
