With respect to provincial consultation, to mandate by statute that the provinces must be consulted prior to appointments being made in virtually every federal body, as the Bloc Quebecois appears to propose, would be needlessly cumbersome, time consuming and costly.
En ce qui concerne la consultation des provinces, le fait d'exiger que celles-ci soient consultées avant toute nomination dans presque n'importe quel organisme fédéral serait trop complexe, coûteux et fastidieux.
