Good afternoon. Welcome to our committee.
In your opinion, is the bill we're considering designed to establish general standards for the country as a whole? Even though each province has its own emergency preparedness act, these standards would make it possible to standardize them across the country, mainly for the federal institutions. In your opinion, could these standards apply, for example, in certain regions of the country that would need them?
We know for a fact that Quebec has the Civil Protection Act. It was well established by my colleague who is seated beside me and who was minister at that time. However, I don't know the situation in the other provinces and territories.
Do you see the validity of this act? Do you think it's an example of uniformity for establishing standards across the country?
