Thank you, Madam Chair. I appreciate that.
I wanted to ask a quick question to Professor Young.
One of the key points you've delivered here is the notion that social programming really should go beyond what the government is engaging in vis-à-vis its fiscal measures. While I accept that, I wonder if you'd have some thoughts on the notion that generally social programs are the jurisdiction and domain of the provinces, and that constitutionally the Government of Canada, if it wishes to help influence outcomes, really is left primarily with fiscal measures to help advance those kinds of outcomes in society in general, while at the same time giving support to the provinces through things like the CHT and CST so that the provinces can drill down a little further and deliver programs at the provincial level, depending on their needs.
Could you comment on that?
