Mr. Speaker, my supplementary question is for the Minister of Labour.
Recommendation 64 of the same report calls on the province of Nova Scotia to enter into an agreement with the federal Department of Labour and transfer responsibility for underground coal mining and inspection from Nova Scotia to the federal government. It also calls for the Nova Scotian government to update the federal government on drafting regulations.
Is the Minister of Labour prepared to enter into this slippery slope of downloading federal responsibilities to the provinces?
