I noticed that the “living tree” interpretation of the Constitution was mentioned later on in the report. I think the intention of this clause being interpreted within the modern context was highlighted, which I remember was pretty key in that testimony by Mr. Dufresne. I wonder if we can also reference it here in this section, which I think is extremely relevant.
In any reader's mind, they may not make the connection if they're reading that section later on. I think it would be good to have it here as well.
