That's where, if you don't respond, you're deemed to have consented. It only applies to Canada.
For international jurisdictions, we are recommending to seek consent if it's reasonable to do so. The reason we put that there is we did a study a few years ago on these international consultations. Most of them are done with the United States. They're reasonable to consult, and then see if you receive an answer. In other jurisdictions, it's not reasonable to do so for various reasons—diplomatic relations; Iran or Iraq when we didn't have diplomatic relations, or when there is no infrastructure there for us to consult with, which was also an issue raised during our investigation.
The distinction is made, and it's only in that context.
It does happen to us quite a lot in investigating those files, and that's why we put that there. We don't get responses from national institutions in cases of historical records. We get a lot of complaints dealing with archival records. A lot of the time it involves police investigations that occurred some time ago, or other types of investigations, and we need to seek consent or the institution needs to seek consent, and the institutions in the provinces or territories don't respond. So we ask them to send letters, and so on.
It was meant to address a very specific issue, and that's why we are recommending to split those between national and international, specifically what you're raising.
