Madam Speaker, I would like to make a brief comment and put a question to the hon. member.
Would the hon. member not agree that in the length of time it has taken to consult on this bill that perhaps they have not done a good job of selling the proposals? Today, with the bill in its current form, the majority of the provinces have not definitely said whether they will be on board. We have not heard from the largest provinces as to whether they will be coming on board.
Would the member not agree that perhaps what we have to do is call in some super salesmen to sell it to the provinces now, before the legislation is put in place, to avoid each province having to negotiate changes within the act to suit it?
