I have to say that I don't think it's correct to refer to the fact that the federal government would break a municipal law. The federal legislation applies, and when it applies it governs what it's aimed at governing.
If the intent, as Mr. Scott is suggesting, is to have a consultation, you don't do that through this mechanism. What you're doing here is giving a degree of priority to this legislation vis-à-vis provincial and municipal legislation. This has nothing to do with consulting. It's really the operation of legal, binding rules. It's not a consultation provision.
