Mr. Speaker, in the document entitled “Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality”, dated April 1999 and prepared by the federal-provincial subcommittee on drinking water, the process was described in this way: it must be stressed that the development of Canadian drinking water guidelines relies on a flexible process that must accommodate the diversities of various jurisdictions.
My question to the hon. member is this: if this is the case, is it possible for the government to come up with one set of guidelines for the country?
