However, I had gone through a lot of discussion around the harmonization accord and the subagreements, and I felt that in fact the harmonization accord and the subagreements, as they had been altered and developed, were manageable, and that in fact, as they represented principles and guidelines for action for the federal government and the provinces, we would have the authority and maintain the authority.We agreed to protect the environment to the highest standards in that accord.
Comme les discussions touchant l'accord d'harmonisation et les ententes auxiliaires étaient déjà passablement avancées, j'ai estimé que l'accord d'harmonisation sous sa forme modifiée constituerait un bon guide d'intervention dans le domaine de l'environnement pour le gouvernement fédéral et les provinces. Par cet accord, nous nous sommes donc entendus pour protéger l'environnement le mieux possible.
