Mr. Speaker, no. Obviously I hope that we shall succeed in finding ways of meeting the requirements of all provinces and territories. There will be differences, no doubt; the agreements will differ from one province to another. Certainly, the available resources, the wishes, the systems in place to deliver programs will differ.
The objective, however, is to ensure that, where provinces wish to take over in this sector, we will be able to reach an arrangement based on negotiations, on a true agreement characterized by partnership and collaboration. It is not our intent to impose conditions and to drive a hard bargain in these negotiations. We want to obtain something that will work well, so as to prove to Canadians that federalism works.
