Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thanks to the witnesses for being here. I really appreciate it.
I spent a bit of time in Calgary—not last week, but I was in Calgary where I taught and went to school, so mad props for Calgary.
We've heard testimony from a broad cross-section of folks, from sectoral groups to organizations to individual business owners to those who have horrific stories to tell about how accidents and preventable accidents cost the lives of loved ones. It's very heavy but it's important to hear.
Mr. Harper and Ms. McAusland, thank you for joining us in this discussion. Ms. McAusland, I'll start with you.
There are a couple of things that I want to pick out.
When we're looking at recommendations that go forward from this committee, there are some consistent themes. One of them is a national database you talked about that would work between the provinces and the federal government. The provincial government would most likely implement that.
I'm wondering how we ensure that each province does that. You would think that each province would do that and that everyone would take part in it, but I'm looking at the mechanics of getting the provinces onside with that. Could I have your thoughts on that?
