No. I think our dealings with those two companies show the basic solidity of the Canadian law. One of the honourable members talked about Canada's role internationally. It's largely because there's huge interest in our law being a law with very high standards, but a flexible and practical application, one that can be adapted to different situations. I think the basic principles in the law are very sound. Our challenge is to adapt them.
I'd add one caveat, though. It is a consent-based law. Some of the discussion in international conferences now is about what consent is worth when we just click on to get to the next screen and click on “I consent”. None of us reads this. Even if we do read it and we are lawyers, we don't know what it means. As for how to have it enforced, if it were enforced, it would be two years from now anyway, so we just click on.
That is increasingly an issue. Should we go to another form of participation or should we make clear standards for some of these companies because the consent in legal terms is not meaningful? That is one of the ongoing debates, but for the moment, we've been able to adapt our law to the challenges.
