I think so. We saw in one instance where a B.C. committee reviewing a counterpart to this law in B.C. had not been aware of a trade commitment that was made, even though some level of the B.C. government was involved in the negotiations of trade agreements. They're so multilateral these days and they have applied it in so many areas of daily life that a more integrated consultation process needs to be set up, because they weren't even aware that a mechanism might have been adopted that would impact their law in a significant way. The same could be said for other aspects of the Privacy Act as well as of PIPEDA. Finding a way to incorporate that type of consultation at early stages will be very important moving forward as more and more of these decisions are made in that context.
I don't know if Ms. McPhail wants to address this, but the CCLA put out a report earlier today on how to better address constitutional protections in legislative processes. You may want to ask her that.
