Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. West, I am going to continue where I left off on the question of interpretation.
I don't want to criticize or support the legal opinion that some interlocutors have seen, since I have not seen it. In fact, it does not exist for us. Given that you and Professor Roach are here, I would like to verify a principle of interpretation.
As I understand things, when a statutory provision grants rights, it will be given a larger and more liberal interpretation, and when a provision instead takes away rights, it will be given a more restrictive and limited interpretation.
Am I correct in thinking this, Ms. West, or am I mistaken?
