Actually, there's a distinction to make. Right now, the process is 28 days to fill out the personal information form. That's done with the help of legal counsel. Obviously, people have the right to access a lawyer to do that, but what we're concerned about is the fact that within eight days, and if the form is filled out by an employee of the government, they will not have had the chance to consult a lawyer. That is a basic right that they currently have, and that right should still be maintained under the new legislation.
