Mr. Speaker, maybe I will rephrase it to say I think hon. member has strayed substantially from the line of logic and reason.
I would simply quote to him clause 6 of the bill. It is in black and white. It reads: "The powers, duties and functions of the minister extend and include matters over which Parliament has jurisdiction". That is the existing act. There is no difference. Nothing has changed. Nothing is altered. Nothing is amended. Everything is the same. We simply are able to work out the kinds of agreements and arrangements with provinces that the department of labour, the department of employment and immigration, the department of welfare, parts of the department that used to be in citizenship have all done over the past 30, 40, 50 years. Nothing has changed. We are working on the legislative base that exists. We are simply consolidating the powers because the department has been consolidated.
