Thank you.
Ms. Wickham, I've been struggling with clause 24 a little. The way the legislation reads, it is a “may”. I know other witnesses have expressed the same concern that you have expressed. The way I read it is it would not allow the office of the commissioner to arbitrarily move forward. It just enables them to do it if it's appropriate, and I would presume, according to full protocol and respect for IP, etc.
Are you saying it's not okay the way it's written? That's not how I read it. I thought the “may” just provided flexibility for the communities to move forward in partnership if they wanted to. Could you share your concerns there a little more?
