Mr. John Moffet at the Environment and Sustainable Development Committee

I apologize for not intervening before the vote. I think I was on mute.

I just want to point out that the consequence of changing the terminology from “individual” to “person” means that this right would be extended to corporations as well as people. That was not the intention of the government in introducing this right.

The term “person” in common law has a broad interpretation. It includes corporations as well as humans.
