Mr. Speaker, I have difficulty understanding feigned outrage.
We have already admitted there was correspondence with the minister of health in Quebec. The Minister of Health of Canada has done what he is required to do, consult with his counterparts.
The letter from the ministry of health in Quebec indicated there was no problem with the legislation then before the House, legislation which the Bloc chose to ignore in the last parliament and which is substantially the same as Bill C-14 in this Parliament.
We are operating in the jurisdiction over which we have authority and that is all the legislation represents.
