Yes, there is an allusion or a veiled reference to the right to counsel at the interview. The phrase in section 23 in English is a “person who is the subject of Board proceedings”. In French, it's “devant la Commission”. In English, it's more clear that it could include the formalized interview process.
I think the right-to-counsel reference could be stronger. It is very important in the context of a bill like this, which takes away a lot of rights, that it is specifically and explicitly guaranteed that the person has the right to counsel at any formalized interview process, as well as, of course, at the hearings and before the appeal division.
