Mr. Speaker, the member and I have discussed this matter for some time and he knows that my answer to this question is no.
My Quebec counterpart and I have had very fruitful discussions on this issue. Mr. Couillard is well aware that there are equivalency provisions in the legislation, except for the criminal prohibitions, that would permit the province of Quebec to enact an equivalent regime as it relates to the challenge of infertility.
I look forward to both my officials and myself being able to carry on these discussions with the Quebec government in the weeks ahead.
