Mr. Speaker, I happened to notice that, throughout the member's speech, a lot of the things she was talking about fall within either provincial or municipal jurisdiction. It seems like a lot of what the federal government is trying to do with the budget circumvents the provinces or works above the municipalities, instead of working through the proper channels, the way the federation is supposed to work, and the different orders of government.
I am wondering what the member thinks about that and if she has any concerns. Even though the government is trying to work on some nice things that she thinks might be helpful in her area, is she concerned about the breakdown of the jurisdictional responsibilities of the federal government, the provincial governments and the municipal governments?
