It is certainly not unusual for statutes to have what we call statutory review provisions. They are, as far as I'm aware, all reviewed by Parliament. Certainly the examples are the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, and the Species at Risk Act, all of which I think this committee has or will be dealing with shortly.
What I think is unique here, and I certainly have not seen it in federal statutes, is a citizen asking a minister to review his act. I'm not putting a value judgment on that, but I think that is unique.
