Madam Speaker, the answer is very simple: no, I do not have any concerns.
I believe that the government first and foremost, that is the Government of Newfoundland and the population of the province, acted very responsibly. I met government officials from Newfoundland, not during the 36th Parliament, but I met Mr. Tobin during the 35th Parliament and we discussed the issue. No, I do not have any concerns.
However, they may want to debate this in that province, at some point. As I said earlier, our role is really to ratify something that was done by the provincial legislature, in an area that comes under the exclusive jurisdiction of the province.
Again, I do not have any concerns. If a debate must take place, it will be among Newfoundlanders. It will definitely not be up to the Canadian Parliament to get involved in this area of jurisdiction.
