Mr. Speaker, I just explained that we have a program of infrastructure that is available to all municipalities to improve the quality of water everywhere in Canada. It is there.
The hon. member says that we should not respect the constitution. We can have national standards but we cannot impose them unilaterally. We have to discuss with the provinces, but the water supply is generally speaking a responsibility first of the municipalities and after that of the provincial governments. We have established some guidelines that we invite all provinces to follow. If they want, we would be very happy to make them a federal law.
