New enough and long enough. QPQ present. This was something I had no idea about (reading this stopped me in my tracks), and it seems like the hook is timely, as there have been several recent policy decisions on this. Hook source is in article and backs up the claim. No textual issues that I can see; even the short paragraphs are inline cited (and are structured such to provide a cogent by-province breakdown). Good to go. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 04:09, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
