Thank you, Mr. Chair.
In answer to your question, we do believe that, yes, it improves the current situation a lot.
I come back to one specific word that was used here, and which is key--the coordination element. If you look at the bill, you see, for instance, in clauses 3 and 4, the word “coordination” is used again and again. In clause 3, it's almost the gist of it, and it's used again in subclause 4.(1), paragraphs (e), (f), and (h). You sense that the aim of the bill will hopefully bring coordination between all levels. That is something we want to underscore.
The second thing is that there's a sort of black hole, if you will, which is called the “other entities”. I think it should be better defined. That's our point. I think there's a huge surge capacity that is needed. Our sector is there, and it should be recognized formally.
Were we consulted, Mr. Chair? The answer is no...not at the outset, and not at the drafting stage. We were not consulted.
