Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his question. It is a legitimate question, but I do not think the concern is well advised.
It has been very clear since the beginning that with an interpretive clause, first, you cannot override what is clear in the Constitution. It is something which helps to interpret the Constitution when the Constitution is not clear.
Second, it cannot give to one province more powers or privileges than it gives to other provinces.
In order to be sure that it is very clear that this is not special status, what the Calgary declaration added is the principle stating that if any future constitutional amendment confers powers on one province, those powers must be available to all provinces.
That is already what we are doing. We could take the example of the manpower training agreements which we are negotiating with the provinces. Alberta and Quebec have decided to use all the powers which the agreements give them, but Newfoundland did not feel that it needed them, so there will be co-management with Newfoundland. Newfoundland will not have full autonomy in this field.
What is important is that everything is available for everyone. This is equality and we are committed to ensure that this will always be the case.
