Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the member for her excellent address to the haggis last night.
At the beginning of the member's speech, she mentioned consultation with the provinces and territories in advance of such treaties. My understanding is that she was suggesting there was no consultation with the provinces and territories. If she asked federal employees in the Department of Foreign Affairs, they would tell her that they do consult with the provinces and territories about treaties affecting them.
Does the member believe no consultations are held with the provinces and territories when treaties are being negotiated?
