Mr. Speaker, I have worked with the member for some period of time and his questions have always been excellent, as is this one.
I can assure him that we have been in detailed discussions with all the provinces and territories to ensure we work together to have provinces or territories adopt the part of the legislation they want in their rules to ensure they are consistent throughout the country. Some of the provinces have not done this.
I understand consultations have gone on for some period of time and there is some difference between provinces in their provincial acts, but for the most part they are very happy with the initiatives by this government in Bill C-9.
I understand those consultations will continue on a twice a year basis for one group and another twice a year basis for another group. They will continue.
