Madam Speaker, the bill provides that the minister may make regulations, and there are some 25 or 26 different areas under which regulations are referred to, so I am sure that they are going to be there.
There are some provisos whereby if there are any inconsistencies between federal and provincial regulations, the federal regulations will prevail as they relate to any other acts which are incorporated by reference in the regulations.
I wanted to ask the member if he could give the House an estimate of the time it is going to take before such regulations are going to be able to be put together because it appears from the breadth of what is happening right across the country, and with different regulations for different provinces, that this may be a very onerous task and may raise some interesting questions.
I would also ask whether or not there has been any thought given to having any of these regulations presented for comment to the appropriate standing committee?
