Thank you for the question.
The expectation is certainly that the CRTC would consider the charter in making its decisions. Again, the CRTC already has a team of independent legal counsel that would provide that opinion.
To your point, publishing those legal opinions would obviously then subject them to external scrutiny. The question of whether that's a safeguard or not is a judgment call that I would leave up to the committee. Again, it would be fairly exceptional. This is not done.... When a legal opinion like that gets published, it waives solicitor-client privilege. That can complicate matters if ever there are court proceedings in this respect.
Again, not to go over ground that we've already been on, but that's why, for example, the charter statement that's published on a bill is not a formal legal opinion in a sense, but rather an analysis of how the charter is potentially engaged.
This would be fairly exceptional to require a regulatory agency like that to publish a legal opinion with respect to every decision it makes with respect to a certain kind of entity.
