Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ladies, welcome to your Canadian Parliament.
I would like to discuss two issues with you, including terminology, but I would first like to discuss the distribution of power between the federal government and the provinces.
Earlier, Mr. Pelletier was asked a very specific question—whether he wanted the proposed legislation to be open for provincial authorities or more restrictive. In other words, we wanted to know whether to give more powers to the provinces so that they could decide what direction to take, or give them specific instructions instead.
Do you think that the legislation the Government of Canada intends to propose should be very specific so as to leave the provinces little leeway, or should it instead give the provinces the leeway they need in this area?
