Mr. Speaker, knowing the expertise of the hon. member for Scarborough—Rouge River, I would like to ask him a brief question. I know that he is a scholar, even in constitutional matters.
The summary of the bill declares the government’s intention; it says:
This enactment provides for a national emergency management system that strengthens Canada’s capacity to protect Canadians.
Is he satisfied that this bill does not encroach upon provincial jurisdictions?
