Mr. Speaker, the things that are within the federal jurisdiction are the things that are covered in the act. The federal government cannot force the provincial governments to reduce the internal trade barriers, but it has to act as a facilitator to do everything it can to do that. The first thing we can do is get rid of those federal barriers and do what we can to encourage the provinces to remove provincial barriers, and I think we are seeing a lot of progress, from what I mentioned in my speech.
