Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We have been advised the Government of Alberta, through its Department of Justice, will be going to the Supreme Court of Canada to challenge Bill C-68, the validity of the act and question whether or not enacting that law infringes upon the rights of the provinces' jurisdiction in this area. When they do, we as a government have made it known we will join as intervenors with Alberta, along with four other jurisdictions, when they go to the Supreme Court. Thank you.
