Dr. Tam, you told us that the process of consulting with those stakeholders or parties that might be affected by the bill would be carried out in concert with expert groups and the advisory committee and that the latter would take a science-based approach. So then, the process of holding consultations pursuant to the amendment to clause 9 would be complementary, not contradictory, to the consultation process.
