Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for his speech which I followed with great attention.
I would like to explore one aspect that he raised. That is the question of his party inviting the provinces to the committee to testify. In my reading of the legislation, the legislation deals entirely with federal powers, unless he has an opinion opposite, and I hope he will express it. As far as I can see there is nothing in this legislation that goes beyond what are the powers of this parliament.
Not to exclude the provinces absolutely, but I fail to see the utility of provincial testimony. I can see other groups from society, but I do not quite understand where he sees that the provinces themselves have something material to offer on what is entirely federal jurisdiction.
