Dr. Blackmer, you made the statement that there is already a patchwork of directives among provinces. We had a witness earlier this week, Professor Hogg, who advised us that one way to alleviate that would be for the authority of the federal government—or a federal agency of some sort, yet to be defined—to establish equivalence of norms across Canada. In other words, elements of the service of course fall under provincial jurisdiction, but since it seems there is already a patchwork, we already have the problem and we already have to find a solution. This is not a theoretical situation. It is, according to your own statement today, a practical situation we face to maintain equality and universality of services across Canada.
Would you advise us that this is a way for us to go—to establish a national framework, and when there is a capacity for a province to intervene, that there be a measure of equivalence to make sure that Canadians are served equally all through the country?
