I believe so as well. Thank you.
In questioning the officials from the department, I quoted Professor Kent Roach from the U of T or Osgoode Hall law school with respect to preambles. I'll quote it again:
Preambles can oversell legislation either by expressing unrealistic hopes that are not always supported by the fine print or the text of the law or by suggesting that "we can have it all".
The certainty that would be provided by explicit exemption language would likely satisfy most of your members. Would that be fair to say for both of you?
