I can speak to that.
The consultation process has been different for different measures. In general, all of the measures in part 1 of the BIA were previously released in draft form for public consultation. In some cases, additional consultation would have occurred earlier in the process. When we release draft legislation for public comment, we typically receive a number of written submissions. We also often hold meetings with stakeholders or people who reach out to us with different interests on the legislation, including technical points or policy concerns.
We hold a number of those meetings and we receive written submissions. We review all of those very carefully. We take that into consideration in determining whether to or how to revise draft legislation.
That occurred with respect to the vast majority of the measures here, which were released last year or earlier. A few of them were released more recently in budget 2023, but some of those would have had consultation before or would have been the reflection of ongoing feedback that we receive from stakeholders and interested Canadians.
