I will reiterate this. The call for using, adding in, and defining this term are one and the same. That's based on research that says that empirical work in Canada and the United States indicates that neither proponents, consultants, nor federal departments and agencies have a shared understanding of what the term means. Despite supposed policy considerations, it's not being done properly.
By providing a definition, the suggestion is that you go beyond the ad hoc—in other words, making it up every time. When you require this, you actually have a clear definition, so that everybody is on the same base. There's no reason why the definition couldn't be added in, at the beginning of proposed section 64. It could say, “for the purpose of this section”, which has happened throughout the bill, where we have added in definitions.
