That's a great question.
Our responsibility for road safety, as my colleague Ms. Hajdu just said, is a shared one, but let me reiterate that we do rely on provincial road safety measures and policies and we rely on largely provincial infrastructure investments in safety.
Mr. Lauzon, who is participating in the meeting by video conference, is aware of Highway 50. More money must be invested in road mobility in Outaouais. The safety of our roads is at stake. That's a perfect example.
Mr. Greaves, most Canadians understand that when you get a driver's licence, you're getting it from a provincial entity, whether that be in British Columbia, Quebec or elsewhere. We rely on provincial law enforcement to monitor highway safety and compliance with the rules of the road. We rely on the infrastructure of weigh stations and other road inspections that are undertaken at the provincial level.
The federal government largely has a coordinating and policy role in elevating best practices with regard to technologies and new methods, making sure we look around the world at the best practices possible and that we, to the extent possible in a federation, nationalize those things and make sure Prince Edward Island can benefit from good things that are done in New Brunswick and Quebec can benefit from good things that are done in Nova Scotia.
The federal government has a solemn responsibility around this. I do find it a little mystifying, as I'm sure you do, when we come here and get asked about something that is obviously and squarely under the aegis of a provincial solicitor general or a provincial certification authority. If you come here and then you, as my colleague just said, weaponize people's grief in an attempt to attribute blame at the political level or the federal level, I think that is not a helpful contribution to this debate.
You can rest assured that all of us—my colleague Ms. Hajdu and I and every one of us—have approached this problem with a real collaborative spirit and a spirit of getting done whatever federal contribution can be made to solving this issue.
