I was very careful, Mr. Albas, in my comments to not overstate the specific contribution that this legislation will make to internal trade and labour mobility. As you know very well, the federal government's role in that space is limited. This is about the federal government doing everything appropriately within its power to contribute to the larger goal of free movement of goods, services and people across the country. We need to do this because it's very hard for the federal government to play the appropriate role of convenor of provinces and territories if it's not doing its part.
