The government cannot be in favour of this particular Liberal amendment. Certainly, I think we would have to have a lot more discussions with provinces, especially the Provinces of Quebec and Ontario, before we infringed on any of their jurisdiction. Frankly, I don't see this as being something that the Government of Canada should play a role in, especially a dominant role, as suggested by this particular amendment. So we will be voting against it.
